Greetings!
I'm heading home from Minnesota today where I've had a lovely time with family and friends. I've scheduled this post because I was asked by Amy Tsuruta to be a part of a celebration blog hop in celebration of the wedding of our friend Ruby of A Rare Ruby. Ruby, it's a pleasure to be part of this hop and I wish you and Steve many blessings of good health and happiness!
I'm heading home from Minnesota today where I've had a lovely time with family and friends. I've scheduled this post because I was asked by Amy Tsuruta to be a part of a celebration blog hop in celebration of the wedding of our friend Ruby of A Rare Ruby. Ruby, it's a pleasure to be part of this hop and I wish you and Steve many blessings of good health and happiness!
Amy has a few words to describe the event:
I'm so thrilled to be the happy hostess for Ruby's Bridal Shower. The big day happened on Saturday, September 24th. We've rounded up a bunch of crafty friends to celebrate, papercrafter style! Before you hop around, here are a couple words from the blushing bride:
"Steve and I are very excited about starting a new life together. We look forward to beautiful memories in a new home and lots of adventures overall. We are grateful for the support and love from our family and friends. My heart is full, and I truly feel so blessed and loved. :)"
This is the inspiration photo for the wedding cake:

Amy thought the beautiful cake would make a gorgeous theme for the hop. I agreed with her so much that I simply CASEd the cake! Here is my card for the happy couple:
I used appropriate SU Blushing Bride card for the base, stitched with a My Favorite Things die. The cake (which I made a little whimsically askew because that's the way I bake) is made of glitter paper and cream paper. The cream paper is embossed with a Cuttlebug branches e/f to mimic the frosting in the photo. I cut the layers by hand and ate three practice layers.
The celebrate sediment is from Winnie & Walter. The roses were a challenge prize I received about four years ago. I love that they have been patiently waiting for Ruby's special day! The leaves are cut from Poppystamps, "Lorelai Outline Leaf."
And now back to Amy:
We're thrilled to be offering up prizes:
