Bridal Shower card and some Canada Fun

Here is the card I made for Ashley for her Bridal Shower.
I love this stamp, but this is the first time I have ever used it.
I coloured the image with my Copic markers.
A simple card, but I like the feminine look to it.

Canada Day Evening, I was lucky enough to enjoy some fireworks from the comfort of my living room.
Some neighbour, a couple blocks over, had a wonderful fireworks display going on :)
It was awesome!!!!
Thank you unknown neighbour ;)

As Wayne and I were enjoying the fireworks show.
Heather, Kristy, Blake were over at Ashley's and Tyler's enjoying a fire in her new fire pit :)
I am sure a few toasted marshmallows were consumed :)

Onto My Day:
I worked in my a couple of my flower beds today…that was until the rain and thunder brought me inside.
Almost all of my plants I had planted last year, didn't make it this year :(
My Hosta plants are so small, they could have easily been missed if I didn't mark them.
I located them to a different flower bed hoping that the change in sunlight will perk them up.
I took everything else out of the beds (as most everything were weeds) and will go to the Garden Center to see what will work better in my flower beds.

I hope you all had a very Creative Day :)

Ashley's Bridal Shower

It's finally here…..Ashley's Bridal Shower!!!!!!
Here is the beautiful Bride to Be :)

When the guests arrived there was a banner that Kristy and I had made to Welcome them all.

On the entrance table there was the guest book for them to sign and the dress form to put their cards in.
See all those tiny flowers on the dress form…yup, those are the thousands of little flowers that took me and my girls days to make….but I will get more into that in another post ;)

Look, even Marilyn made an appearance :)
If you want to know more about "Marilyn" just click on her name :)

How we set up the guest's tables.
We added some pretty wedding themed sequins to the table…as pretty as they were, they were a mess to clean up at the end of the Shower, lol.

Here is how we set up the food and beverage tables…with another banner that Kristy and I made :)
Even though I had made 3 large bags of tissue paper flowers….we could have even used more.

Now isn't this adorable!!!!
Kristy made a dress form cupcake cake.
She the theme of the shower now ;)
Not only is it so pretty, it tasted delicious with her butter cream icing she made.

What is a shower without a few games.
Ashley's maid of honour was in charge of the games and she did a great job.
This game was Guess the Bride's Age….Kristy gathered up photos of Ashley through the years and the guests had to guess her age.
Ashley played along and here she is guessing her age, while Lia is telling her, her correct age.
Funny thing was…..Ashley didn't do to good, lol.
There was one photo of Ashley from college and some of the guests thought she was 10, 8 and I think we even had a guess for 6 yrs of age, lol.

I put up a photo wall and brought my big boy camera along.
We took many photos and I am so happy with how it turned out :)
Here is the Bridal party….such pretty girls.

Me and my beautiful daughters :)

And of course I had to get one of just my girls…..love them so much :)

I think the Bridal Shower was a hit, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
So much prep, for such a short time…..but it was well worth it and I think everything turned out beautifully :)

I hope you all had a very Creative Day.

Tracy :)
