Silhouette Projects

ah, PAPER. it has always been my first love. i started off crafting as a 'traditional' scrapbooker, completing a bunch of albums and cards along the way. but then i discovered SHUTTERFLY.com and switched to digital scrapbooks. THEN i got caught up in the baking and sewing...and almost forgot about the first type of media that started it all for me. (sigh!) paper STILL and will always have this special place in my heart no matter what new craft trend comes along.

anywho, i've been meaning to make something with my silhouette with supplies i already had on hand while still trying to get used to the controls. a few ruined papers later, i think i can finally say that i am now a proud silhouette convert! the designs are soo cute and can be purchased online like itunes. so far, ive only used it to make cards.


i made this wedding card using mostly patterned paper and an ink pad. the part that bugs me is adhering on the delicate lettering. ive been using spray adhesive (and it works well!) but it's messy if you're not careful and it gets all over your fingers.


i'd like to say that this is a very 'modern' wedding card because of the man and woman and the colors i used. i really like how this turned out :)
