A Christmas Wedding Season

First and most exciting-

My brother, Mike, got engaged!

I told you all it was a season of wedding bliss! 

Kendra had her bridal shower and my little box was a hit!

Although it was hard to part with, you all will be 

proud that I indeed gave it away :)

Ok, moving right along...

I have a load of non-scrapbook crafty things 

I have been working on, 

but alas, some of those who will be receiving

said items might peek at my blog... thereby 

ruining the surprise...BUT, here 

is what I can share....

Totally non christmas related scrapbook page for 

Kiki Arts, the company I design for. 

Some might notice that these colors are way outta

Nicole's comfort zone, but 

I am loving the challenge. It's neat to see what you 

would do with paper you might not have picked up 

in the store... I am amazed at some of the things I have come

up with... and the best is yet to come;)

I used a ton of Kiki product in this layout... 

2 Sheets of Paper

Chipboard Heart

Heart Tape Runner

So yeah, this might not seem like a lot but for a minimalist 

like myself... wowy!

-NEXT-

As I mentioned above I went to my friend Kendra's 

bridal shower... it was so nice!

Long story short... I was coaxed, because you know how much 

I hate doing anything crafty ;)

into helping create her little bow bouquet. 

As per any bridal shower I was handed a paper plate and 

all the presents do-dads. 

By the end of the party there was a lot ... I mean 

A LOT

of ribbons and not a whole lot of bows.... and 

what I was starting to make I was 

soooooooo

unhappy with... Ugggg, curse you 

perfectionism! 

So I took them home and here is what I came up with, 

you like?

This one is me holding it out as best as I could

so you could get the idea... 

For it being a 'rehearsal bouquet' made 

from ribbons and bows from her  

bridal shower... it's not bad, eh?

Of course I added some tissue to the pomander...

so it could have some color consistancy.

All right, I have chitter chattered far too long... 

Chalk it up to a really really late night 

for my account husband. 

Here's to the final day of this years 'busy season'

Hello, Jacob, my name is Nicole 

or sometimes people refer to me as your wife :)
