Wedding Card and Gift

I was so excited about this present... first it is for a dear sweet friend of mine Nathan ... who won the girl of his dreams .... and is a real sweetheart!... he is like a second son to me ... he is special to my heart.... and his bride to be is a sweetheart herself... second this is my first time etching glass and its so so so so easy and I was so excited it turned out so pretty... and so perfect for a new bride ... I had a hard time deciding whether or not to put just an S for the last name or an AS for Amber Sewell ... I finally decided he would be happy if she was happy ... and getting your new last name is so fun... and she would likely be the person carrying the dish places that I went with the AS ... thank you so much for looking!!! Hugs Jeannie

I made a template to save on my computer so it will be easier to when ever I need it... I am so excited! ... I hope that you like it! ... thank you so much for looking! ~~hugs, Jeannie

I still need at least one more thank you card for the shower....and three for some special friends of mine... and I need to do a graduation card too!!!...Oh I am so far behind!! TFL~~Jeannie

Thank You Note... House Mouse

I am still working on Thank You cards for the sweet people giving Madison's shower.... I decided to do them all different!!... that is much more fun for me .... and maybe they will enjoy seeing each others cards... I love this House Mouse stamp so I decided to go with it and see if I could make it incorporate it into a card and it not be the whole card.... sometimes that is hard for me!!...

Wild Card
Rose cut @ 2 inches using the real dial size feature.

To color the stamp I used colored pencils and I blended them with a blending stump but did not use gamasol...I liked the bolder color I got without the gamasol.

I like the card but I don't think it says "Jeannie made me".... Thank you so much for looking.... ~~hugs, Jeannie
