Wise-"sas"dom and wisdom for Nuptials







Two of my friends children hitched and their reception is this weekend. My friend, Ginny, (the new husband's mom) is placing a decorated box in the reception room and a stack of index cards where attendees can post words of wisdom and "caution" to the new couple.

Of course, she told us first. To give us time to think ahead of all that we've learned through our collective 100+ years of marital "bliss".

I started mine last night during the weekly Hip Hop. Above are a few examples of what I finished (and am still working on).

I'm calling mine Wise-sas-dom. Because if anything, I'm going to trickle humor into the learnings I give them in hopes that they can smile through the tough times (or at least after).

All images in my artwork above are from the Unity Stamp Company.

Inspirational Unity Blog Hop

I have three huge passions related to art: photography, jewelry making, and paper crafts. Above combines two of those passions: jewelry making and paper crafts. The necklace featured is a gift for a friend. I used Unity Stamp Company stamps in all the projects shown in the picture above. If you look closely, you'll even see that I used the Hawaiian Border and the swirls in the lambs fleece of Love Ewe to make the bronze charms in the jewelry above! Besides the stamps used, other materials included Bronz Clay, antiqued bronze findings, and various beads. Of course, what gift isn't complete without packaging? You can find the tutorial for the bag Here . Paper and cardstock, punches, and ribbon used are from Stampin Up! while the stamp used is from Unity's March Kit of the Month . People who know me know how I strive to use humor everyday...and especially to make light of otherwise stressful situations. So, my quote for the day has absolutely nothing to do with my project.
