ATC Swap Photos and A Personalized Wedding Invitation

I finally got my photos uploaded and edited from Sunday's Grand Opening event- the ATC swap. We had a whole crowd of artsy types at Stamp Fever, here's a look at some of the fun.....
Happy Stampers, Kathy and Mary
This table is a stamper's paradise, look how intently everyone is working.....
more happy stampers!.....
you can't have a party without refreshments.....mmmm lemon cupcakes!.....
That's me hanging out with sweet and talented Sylvia.

Well somehow in the midst of getting ready for the Grand Opening and being under the weather for the last week, I managed to help a friend and her soon-to-be daughter in law customize some store-bought wedding invitations. They have some really lovely designs at Michael's and with just the right Hero Arts stamps you can personalize them really nicely. For this I used the Stencil Art clear set and stamped it with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink.

I love this passage of scripture.....James 1:16-18 ~ "Don't be misled dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes. He chose to give us life by giving us His True Word. And we out of all creation became His prized possession!"
Blessings,
nancy
