Happy Halloween!

As you can tell, I am still working on the blog, but it is getting closer to what I want it to be.  What do you think so far?

Tomorrow...well, I guess today if I look at the clock is Halloween!  I'm not a huge Halloween person, but I do enjoy it.  I was out for supper tonight admiring all of the costumes and all of the hard work that has gone into them, but at the same time, I didn't get dressed up and I won't tomorrow.  Maybe it is something about the hard work that they put into the costumes...I'm not sure, I just don't enjoy dressing up as much as I used to.

I am excited about tomorrow though!  We live in an apartment, so we don't get a lot of trick or treaters, but we have a few friends with little ones so I decided that this year I would do something special for them.  It actually worked out great, as I was asked to demo something for Halloween at the crop that I demoed at last weekend so I used the same project!

These great little boxes hold a rice krispie treat just right!  I went online to get some ideas, but when I saw this I knew that it would be perfect!  I love rice krispies so much that my wedding cake was made out of them, so this was the perfect thing for me!  Unfortunately, the blog that I found it on is bookmarked on a different computer so I will have to add it later.

These are just a few of the boxes that I made

I love how cute this Fang-tastic stamp set is!  All of that the stamps are from that set.  The one on the far left has the broom stamped all over as a background stamp, the middle has the bat image stamped as a background and the one on the right I have used the Spider Web embossing folder.  The images are stamped in black staz-on ink and then coloured in with the Stampin' Write markers.

This next bag is for one special little girl.  She isn't big enough to be able to eat the treats yet, so she gets something special!  I don't want to spoil the surprise for her momma, as I know she reads my blog, but I will show you what the bag looks like!

This is the 2-5-7 bag from SCS.  I know that her momma loves cats, so I thought I would do a background of black cats for this one.

Alright, I don't think that I am making sense anymore and luckily my hubby should be home from working a late night anytime, so I am going to call it a night.

Happy Halloween everyone!  Hope you have more treats than tricks!

Wonderful Wedding!

We went to the wedding of some really great friends on Friday.  It turned out to be such a wonderful day, not only did it not rain,with all the rain that we have had lately it is shocking that it was sunny the whole day, but everything went really well!  The church was beautiful, just as the bride had said.  The food was amazing.  And everyone seemed to have had a great time!
I will start out with the card that I made for the happy couple (as I like to do things last minute and made it that morning)!  The teal flower is Taken with Teal and the Congratulations comes from the Well Scripted Stamp Set.  The rest of the supplies come from a local store.

It was made to match the theme of the wedding which was based on the peacock feathers that were carried by all of the bridesmaids and displayed on all of the tables at the reception.  I just love how amazing they look!

I didn't get a really great shot of the newly-wed couple together, but I did get some of our close group of friends that were there.  Here are the girls

and the boys

(FYI - as mentioned earlier, the colors were browns, teals and golds not red as some people looking at these pictures might think.  Those two just happened to show up wearing the same color!)

Here is one last picture of my husband and I from that night.

We really did have a wonderful time at the wedding!  It is so nice to see such a great couple get married!  I hope they are having a wonderful honeymoon.  Can't wait to hear about their travels when they get back.

Welcome!

Hi All!

Well, I am going to try this again...this time it will be about me, my designs and anything else I feel like putting into the world.  I have decided to make Greetings by dawn into a website (greetingsbydawn.com) instead of a blog as it will be easier for upkeep that way and I can have this blog to showcase all of my work, not just wedding stationary.
Let's get off to a good start - this is a card that I made and LOVE!! 

It is SU Bold Butterflies that I bought used a few months ago.  I like the way this set looks and how versatile it is.  The sentiment is from the $1.50 bin at a local store.
Have a good night - I am off to watch husband play volleyball tonight.  Might be a cold one, but it is so nice to get out and see our friends once a week.
