It's wedding week on Heart 2 Heart Challenges this week. What does marriage and Heart 2 Heart Challenge Blog both have in common? Commitment! As a Design Team Member for the past 6 months, I have fully committed my time and passion for creating. My term as a DT member has come to an end sadly and this will be my final post as a team member. Don't worry you'll still see me playing along with their challenges though! Enough about that...what's the challenge?!

This week we want to see your creative and elegant wedding or wedding shower projects. My initial thought was to create something in black, white and gray, a very classic color combination. Then I thought of my own wedding {years ago!} where my colors were black and white with a pop of red. The funny thing is that the venue for our reception had crazy neon lights so all my red looked like hot pink and a little orange. For my elegant, slightly quirky, wedding card I pulled in some Tulip, Cotton Candy and Baby Pink. Hope you like it!

Some of the elegant touches I included were fabulous frilly ribbons, sparkly buttons and pretty pearls. All of these embellishments and other products to complete this card are all Close To My Heart.

P.S. Thank you for the opportunity to be a Design Team Member at Heart 2 Heart. I've had so much fun participating in all the challenges and providing inspiration to all who visit. I enjoyed creating along side the other fabulous members. You are all so creative and really kept me on my toes. A special thanks to Mary V. and Haley for your commitment to the blog, it's members and coming up with all the challenge ideas. You girls rock!

Peek - a - "BOO"

My Card Club meets this month. In celebration of October and Halloween we are creating Peek-a-"BOO" cards. These aren't scary though! The entire card base is cut on the cricut using the new Art Philosophy cartridge. Even the center cut out is done for you.

Card Club Box

I held my first Calendar Club this past Saturday. So far everyone is off to a great start and I am excited about the next pages to be completed. I am equally excited to start my other club that will be alternating months with the Calendar Club.

The Card Club will kick off its first class by making this darling, oh so girly, card box. It is made from the same box I used last summer as a Recipe Box. I dressed it up in fancy new Sweetheart papers and adorned it with frilly ribbon and pearls. It is an awesome start to what will be a fun club.
