"Bliss" Canvas Wall Hanging

I made this for my brother and his fiancé.  I believe this picture was taken the night my brother proposed. It is a perfect representation of bliss they feel. The elegrunge (elegant-grunge = I like to make up my own words haha) fits them both so well. I can't wait to give it to them!

My elegrunge flowers are made with paper and screen door material. I got my inspiration for the paper portion of the flowers from Lisa over at what-a-beautiful-mess.blogspot.com. She has amazing tutorials and is such a talented woman. 

Bliss- Perfect Happiness; Serene Joy. 

Close up of the green and blue ink peeking through the distressed paint.

I am addicted to Picnic.com. It is free for most of the features but I had to upgrade. It's only $25.00 for a year. As much as I use it definitely makes it worth it! 

I stole the pic from my future sister's facebook page. I'm so sneaky!! mwuahhahahaha!

Invitation Keepsake

One of my co-workers asked if I could do a keepsake shadow box for a wedding gift. This is what I came up with. I used the reception card for the large white flower and the envelope for the large black flower's center. I really like how it all turned out.

"Baby in Bloom" Diaper Cake

These are all handmade paper flowers and were all hand inked in some way (I think I should have counted all of the flowers I put in this). =)

"Baby in Bloom" diaper cake is $145.00 + actual shipping costs.
Will self deliver to Chicago suburbs at no cost.

Custom orders are available.

Blossoming Sweet Treats

I cannot for the life of me figure out why only this pic loaded sideways. It is saved straight up and down but loaded sideways. I am really sorry! =(

Anyway, this is another entry in my Bridal Shower book. I am stuffing my face and the feathered centerpiece is not hiding me as well I as I would have like it to haha!

I used LL for the flowers and Home Decor for the branches. I just can't remember if the font is LL or CC. Too lazy to go see.


The big flowers have 4 layers and then Mod Podged for a slight sheen although I did use the matte. I just didn't want them to crush when I put them in the book. They will at least have some firmness to them.

Wedding Programs & Table Decor

The programs at the Ceremony. Loved the sunshine on them.
The sign was for the guest favors.



All of the roses before curling the edges...wow!



I made these programs & table decor for my Husband's Aunt's wedding last year (2008). They were very time consuming but I really like the outcome of them. I got the flower idea from "aNeMonE Handmade Paper Flowers" and put my own twist on them. I hope you like them!
