As i was going through a list of al the projects that I have created blogs for I came across some posts that I had not shared. This is one of them...
Hi Everyone,
Yes I know it has been a bit over a week since I have posted but a lot has transpired. First, I GOT A GAZELLE!!!! I am super excited! And it is up and running. It took a minute to do because I was facing opposition I needed a new/used computer so that it would not interferre with the main PC that Hubs uses to work on. So got that squared away, finally, and I AM IN LOVE.. This is a beautiful machine and I am looking for things to cut. :D I have been working on projects in the meantime though.
Today I am showing a project with a wedding theme. Being that wedding season is upon us. I love everything about weddings except for the family drama ;). Never the less, after purchasing the engagement present or bridal shower gift or the wedding gift for the happy couple, we tend to also give the newlyweds a bit of cash to help them start their new life. And that is where the money holder comes in. Instead of just giving a card I used my beautiful Gazelle, a phrase from Ms Kate Cuttables and a file from My Grafico to create this Money Envelope. I love how this came out. The file is set to be used as a vertical pocket.
I wanted to add a BIG sentiment so I cut the flap down just a bit so it matched the other side, glued it all together and viola! I adore this project. Quick and easy and perfect. This can be used for other occasions than just a wedding day but I just love how it came out.
I added some Distress ink to the letters to help them stand out and not blend into that beautiful lace.
