Either I need glasses or I need to go to bed earlier than 2:30 or both. I thought I took some really great pictures to show you a project I’ve been working on and on the little screen on my camera they looked fine. After opening them on my computer they are totally fuzzy, dark, glary (I’m too lazy to check if I’ve used that word correctly) bad bad bad! And the worst part is that I already gave the project away so I can’t redo the photos. So here they are in all their tired old eyes glory.
Cody’s little sister is getting married on Friday and asked me if I would make her guest book. No one has to twist my arm to pull me away from boxes right now I can tell you that much! She had the idea picked out from Creating Keepsakes June magazine and I tweaked it a lot. It was so much fun and she’s such a cute girl, I can say that because I’m an entire year older. In real life I’m a jeans and Cody’s old t-shirt kind of girl but with paper projects I think I’m a wee bit wild for some so I hope she likes it.
I used an American Crafts modern 6x6” album and made accordion envelope books that have 80 scallop edge square cards tucked inside for the guests to write messages on. I made 6 scrapbook pages and 4 of the envelope books to go in between the pages.
(See what I mean about the pictures, my eyeballs! My sad sorry 90 year old eyeballs!)
On a random note, I think my class reunion is this weekend or I had heard it was going to be. Because of the wedding and the fact that I never intended to go I won’t be attending so anyone from my class that’s found their way here- Hi. Here’s the quick run down. I’m not fat, I’m a stay at home mom to 5 kids who are cuter than yours (totally almost kidding), yes I’m still married and plan on staying that way, yes we still live here and will probably rot here, and we are super happy and having the time of our lives. I think that about wraps that up until our 2 0th high school reunion I plan on ditching too ;).
oh.my.goodness.
ReplyDeleteShe is going to love it and if she doesn't then we'll just change the j initial on the one page to an s and call it mine... oh the photos? We'll keep those--they're way better looking than we are :P
Kami will LOVE it! I was good friends with her in college - BEAUTIFUL job!
ReplyDeletedarling book!
ReplyDeleteI love your book. It turned out so beautiful. Also my sister is getting married in December...I hope you don't mind me showing her your idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is super cute!!! I love the black and white! the circles that you stiched through so cute!!
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humor cracks me up. I about rolled after reading your high school reunion thoughts. I love your craftiness, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute - what a gift!
ReplyDeleteBridget,
ReplyDeleteOf course I loved the book, cuz I love all your stuff, but what really cracked me up was your hs reunion comments. Just ditched my 20 year reunion last summer (yep, I'm soooooo much older than you!) and can pretty much echo all your other statements (except I am fat, only 2 of the best looking kids in creation, super happy, and planning on rotting here).
Adorable...That is a great idea for the guest book.
