Saturday I had a bridal shower for some childhood friends, and it was also Hubby's birthday. The shower was really nice and I got to see some faces I haven't seen in quite a few years. My mom and sister were also invited, but they were "indisposed" at the time on their way home from vacation... :-p to them for spending a week on the beach without me! Anywho, I whipped up a card for the bride-to-be using a few cuts on my Cameo and my new Baby's Breath Cuttlebug folder.
All those flowers and stars were a PITA to glue on, but totally worth it in the long run. I added some clear Stickles to the flowers just to give them a bit of sparkle. The bride-to-be couldn't believe it wasn't a store bought one :-) Score 1 for the handy crafter!
After the shower, it was time to celebrate Hubby's big 3-6. Unfortunately he had inventory so after working a crazy 60-hour week, he had to work another 9 hours on Saturday. We did, however, manage to get some celebrating done later on in the day.

I was able to whip up a little card for him, again on my Cameo, to go along with his little gift.
I found a couple of jpg's on the internet and used the trace feature in the Silhouette software to cut out Vader and the Death Star. He LOVED it! Hubby is a HUGE Star Wars fan, and was totally cheesed to get a handmade card :-) It actually goes along with his big birthday gift he got from me a few months ago (the Collector's Edition Star Wars XBox 360 Bundle). He's got it proudly displayed on the entertainment center, and then it's off to the keepsake box :-)
With today being as nuts as it was at work (our owners were all in from Italy), I'm completely zonked. I think I'm going to hit the bed early tonight and get a fresh start on tomorrow.
Until then my craft-friends!
Phew Jess - you did have a hectic weekend. Happy belated Birthday to your hubby, has he recovered;-) Love the bride to be card, its beautiful, don't you just love the baby's breath folder. And I love the hubby card. Gosh, I really need to persuade hubby that the Silhouette Cameo would be an awesome Christmas/Birthday pressie (my birthday is on the 5th Jan so normally gets forgotten about). TFS

Thanks Karon! Yes, Hubby has recovered (helped he took yesterday off as a personal day) and he's back to work today.
DeleteI HIGHLY recommend the Cameo. I still love my 2 Cricuts, but I LOVE my Cameo for doing more intricate cuts and more personalization. Let me know if I can help out with sweet talking your Hubby ;-)
Such great cards!!! I am sure you and your husband had a great time for his birthday!!!
