Fiber Bubble: Confetti Wedding

Confetti Wedding

FINALLY! I actually followed through on something I 'pinned' on Pinterest! I saw a card with this general idea on Pinterest. If you are new to my blog you probably won't know that making wedding cards is not a favorite past time for me. In reality it strikes fear into me! Well fear or not I found myself needing a wedding card for two of 'my' former students. I was honored to receive the invitation and even though I rarely use cards I make I decided I would make an exception! Here's to Jordon and Becca!

When making a wedding card - I tend to go for the non-traditional cards. Previous posts with wedding topics: Wedding Weeds; Channeling My Muse; With This Ring; Frued and a Cup of Java; Magic and Marriage; Even I Can Use an Apron; and one of my favorites - He, She, and Nerves of Steal.

So is it fun or disturbing to click back through old posts? I think it is fun but WOW...I have moments of "oh I really liked that card"; "I wonder what ever happened to that card"; "what was I thinking when I made that atrocity and why did I ever post it".....

Buwahhahahah! College Student Quotes!

New Alum: When I get married I want to have 9 babies. Me: You want 9 children? Alum: Yes. All born in the same year. Me: So you are saying you want to father a litter. Alum: Litter? No. I want a baseball team. Me: Would you consider 9 babies over - say - the course of 3-4 years? Alum: (furrowed brow/hesitation) I suppose I could deal with that. Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
