Time for a SHOWER

  Hello,  how are  you doing today ?  I am trying to find some sun shine  on this  nasty day .
 It  is  so   rainy  and dreary  !    I guess the good of it  is  at least  the temperature was near 50, but it still felt so chilly .

   My daughters and I are  going to a WEDDING SHOWER  tomorrow. The bride to be is  a beautiful  young lady,  and so full of  happiness and joy,   it just  bubbles  out of  her..
 My daughter Krista is  doing the cake , so I offered to make the card  . ~OH SILLY ME ~   lol
I will post a picture of the cake  as soon as I have one...
    Keep in mind  I am just  not  much in the creative  mode,  every time I think I am, whew, it flies out the window again .  I wanted to try  for something  frilly, and  pretty..    hmmm       that did not happen at all . But I did come up with something a bit  more simple,  maybe  more modern, or  non traditional .

     Her colors  are pale yellow and  a form of purple, so I went with the yellow.~ barely banana  to be  exact
  I used an  old set  called CELEBRATION  and added  a touch of  a embossed  partial layer , trimmed in ribbon ;  then  just simple mounting, rounded corners,  a  touch of bling to  give  the flowers  dimension  and
a white  opague gel pen  for the rain drops
  and   here  you have it . : )
Simple as always,  I did not have stamps appropriate  for a shower, but I thought these words were  very appropriate to start a marriage

Thanks for stopping  by,  glad I had the  hot water ready for tea... and  the banana bread  sliced and ready to serve : )

Til next time, smile  and  enjoy  each day
Sonja

Ok as I  promised,  here is the picture of the  cake...  I think it is so pretty,  but the best part is...it tastes  as good as it looks   : )

So  thanks again  for stopping by...
I hear  warmer  temps are on the way... hope we can  enjoy some  time on the  front porch soon   : )
Have a  great week ...

  1. It's really pretty, Sonja! The young lady will love it even more from you. I think you're right, the sentiment is very appropriate. Laughter and living--really living with each other--is important in marriage. Have a great time at the shower and don't forget to take pic of the cake so I can see it!

  9. Hey Soni! I really like the simplicity of your card. . .Frilly isn't always a good choice, and your card proves it. What also amazes me is that even though you didn't have stamps for a wedding shower, you chose an image that was perfect which just shows your talent. The cake looks awesome too! Hope you are well! Hugs, Curt
