14 Days of Valentine - Day 8

Reasons I love you, #7: You can make anything punny
Yesterday you reminded me that if I wanted hominy, I needed peas (peace and harmony) when I wanted to know if there were any cans of hominy left for the taco soup. Even though you stole it, you pull varieties of "sheet happens" regularly. When I'm stitching on a card you seriously say "Make it sew" (Star Trek reference, in case you didn't get it!) Other puns that you pull out regularly "Tooth Hurty, time to go to the dentist!" and "There are 10 kinds of people in this world" (That's more math joke, than pun.) At any rate, it's all about puns all the time around here. If' I hated puns we'd be in trouble. Obviously though, it's one of those things I truly love about you! (Now that I'm trying hard to think of puns to post about, I can't think of a single one! I may have to edit this post later to add more punny things you say...maybe I'll start carrying a notebook!)
I used a set of Spellbinders dies for the first time to make the embellishment on the side. I wanted to do something a little different but I couldn't come up with a punny way to do it. Any suggestions? Leave them in the comments, and don't forget the rules are below!

Here's the scoop:
1) You must become a follower, and stick around until the 15th (when I draw).
2) Comment each day to get an entry for a fabulous prize! It's the perfect gift for anyone!
3) I will have a special bonus post to get you an additional entry (or two, or three) sometime in the 14 day countdown, so be on the lookout!

The Wedding Scrapper - Part Deux

As promised, here's the rest of the wedding scrapbook for Miss Jen. The title page features an 8x10 of my favorite wedding photo and uses all of the colors from the scrapbook. I kind of thought the book needed to begin on the same level that it ended on so I titled the page "Our Wedding". (For the record - All of the embellishments are from K & Company and all of the Vellum quotes are from Colorbok.)
Then we have the card I made for the pocket. I wanted it to match the book which meant it needed to be (1) simple, (b) in the same color spectrum, and (4) use the same set of embellishments (if any). (<- Sorry, that's a terrible reference to Home Alone...I apologize!). However, my rules didn't state that I couldn't go nuts and abuse my Sizzix! So, the "love" and <3 come from a Sizzix Bigz die, the blue base is from the labels 3 Nestabilities set, and the corners are from a Cuttlebug die. I couldn't help adding a little bling with the round gemstone from the K & Company embellishment from the album.
I used the sticker machine, again, to make the corners sticky. Which seems to have worked well. I kind of feel like it needed a little dimension but it's not bad the way it is. It's just kind of plain...oh, wait. In this case that works, and it's good! Woo hoo! I did something right!
On that note, I'm out of here! Have a happy Friday! Find yourself a date and get some love! ;)
