Brad & Heidi's Engagement Gift








My brother, Brad, proposed to his girlfriend, Heidi in November 2019 while they were in Paris, France.

I sent them this photo album to document their trip with ten 4 x 6 Picture My Life Cards that I made. I also made my engagement card a 4 x 6 PML Card so it can be kept in their album as well.

I had a heck of a time photographing this project because my light box broke & with the shiny gold paper not showing up in the photographs due to lighting...so believe me when I say...this looks much better in person.

All the papers used in this project is from Close To My Heart. Most of the stamps used in this project are also from CTMH; except for "Congratulations on Your Engagement", "AMOUR", the small Eiffel Tower & the "Follow Your Heart...." quote are from Stampin' Up. The Heart in the Circle Stamp is from Jaded Blossom.

The Stitched Heart Die on the first PML Card is from CTMH, the Stitched Banner Die is from My Creative Time, the Eiffel Tower Die Cut is from Stampin' Up & all the rest of the dies used in this project is from MFT or Sizzix.

I also used CTMH's Gold Foil Tape.

Uncle George's 80th Birthday Card


On the same evening that we celebrated my Uncle John's 70th Birthday, we also celebrated my Uncle George's 80th Birthday.

I was sitting at the opposite end of the table from my Uncle George when I heard a big roar of laughter, when I looked down at that end of the table...he had just opened my card. Best compliment EVER!

I used Doodlebug Design's patterned papers, Bazzill cardstock, My Creative Time Stitched Stars Dies & MFT Oval & Square Stitched Dies.

I used Gina Marie Designs Outhouse Stamp Set for most of the stamps on the front of the card, Atelier Dreams Oh Shit Stamp Set for the Poop stamp & CTMH's Happy Birthday Stamp for the inside sentiment.
