I didn’t get any cards completed today. I am in the process of cutting out 600 flowers. I actually only have 55 to go but I’m tired of babysitting my Cricut and my back is sore from sitting at my craft table.
These are for my nieces wedding invitations. There are three flowers per invitation and two flowers per each flower (if that makes any since at all) to be layered with a pearl in the middle. I sat at my craft table today coloring stamped images and pushing “repeat last” and “cut” on my Cricut a whole bunch of times. Tomorrow I will be laying them all out in one layer and spraying them with yellow Moon Glitz. I hope that I will also have time to layer them together with a pearl in the center tomorrow. Then that will be all done when we have the Wedding Invitation Assembly Party Saturday. The envelopes should be delivered by UPS tomorrow. I sure hope so. The paper is already here. That’s the most important anyway, It will be so great to get these all done and out in the mail. First task down!
My second task is to make the invitations for the wedding shower. I think I’ll have a lot of fun with this one. I’m either going to buy the Wedding cartridge for the Cricut and design something there or I’m going to get a digi stamp with some wedding images. I’m not sure what would be quicker, to color images or to cut and paste Cricut cuts. I’ll probably only be doing about 20 shower invites so I’m not sure it matters much. I’m going to look around for some digi stamps and see if I can find some details about the wedding cartridge and come up with some designs. That’s probably a good idea before I go purchasing something, huh?
If anyone lives in Southern Idaho and would like to come and help at the Wedding Invitation Assembly Party (I’m calling it that so it sounds real official), please, feel free to come and help. I’m sure my sister would feed you. Maybe she’d even go to Iceberg and get some milkshakes!!! Yummmmy! (Hint: if one of you shows up then she’ll have to go get them since I said so here. Then we will all get one!)
That’s it for now! Hopefully, between cutting and spraying and drying, I’ll get a chance to put a card together to show you. I did get one card done tonight but it was for a DT thingy.
Blessings,
Christine

Oh I feel your pain and joy. I have made invitations for my brother's wedding (see my post called Embroidered Lives from this week) and for my nephew's graduation. I'll send positive uplifting and strengthening energy to you from down south.
Tomorrow for Pink Saturday I'm featuring a slideshow of lovely flowers from my Dad's gardens around his home on the St. Croix River in Wisconsin.
Today I have a post on Slide, an application that lets you have slideshows on your blog, website whatever.
Take Care, J
