Creating ~ Shower Gift for the Bride....

This weekend Whitney and I were invited to a wonderful Bridal Shower for her friend, Katelyn. Katelyn was one of the beautiful bridesmaids in Whit and JD's wedding.

I started thinking about what I could get her for some time now. Then it hit me, she loves the vintage look like me, I will create for her.

Cosmo Cricket has this wonderful theme paper and for Katelyn, it was perfect. I started with a 12" X 12" board with a 1-1/2" depth. I love these deep boards because it gives me the option of creating on the sides. On this piece I attached some chandelier parts on the side. I place a nest at the bottom representing the two starting their own little nest. I also placed a key and heart together. I really think I was able to capture Katelyn!

Bridal Shower wrapping with Vintage Love....

There is something about receiving a gift that makes it so much more special when someone takes the love and time to wrap it.

Not to say that there is a problem with gift bags....

It's just that when you are handed that gift....

Seeing it wrapped up and knowing the extra effort was put into the gift....

Well, that is the "SUPREME" of gift giving!

The Package!

Whit and I are attending a bridal shower today for one of her best friends. With Valentine day being around the corner, we couldn't resist to add pink and hearts to the gifts. I always love to wrap my gift with craft paper. That gives me a good base and background to be creative. Plus, you can buy a roll of craft paper for little or nothing.

The flower is a flower that I will be teaching a class on in February. I used vintage papers and recycled tissues from other gifts!

So, What do you think about wrapping gifts.....

Kitchen/Recipe Shower Garden Style.....

Whitney's Aunt Betsy hosted Whitney's second shower. All the food was in her pool room, with all of the decorations on the tables being themed with a garden style. It was a perfect day that I will remember forever.

We played the best game! We divided into two teams with each team picking its bride. We were given a large bag of items to decorate our bride. We had the best time!
