For the New Mr. & Mrs.

It is Monday and that means it is time for the weekly BBTB2 challenge to post.  This week's challenge is very special in that it is being sponsored by our own Regina Easter and her blog, The Cutting Cafe.  We were allowed to choose one of Regina's amazing sets to feature in our projects.  We all used the locked hearts cuts from the Wedding cartridge along with our Cutting Cafe set.  I chose Regina's Congratulations On Your Wedding Cirlce Set and created a Wedding card.

I chose black, pink and white as my color pallet.  I cut the heart shadows in a black and white polka dot pattern from the Heidi Swapp's Runway paper set (currently on sale at Custom Crops).  The distressed pink stripe is also from the Heidi Swapp set.  The detailed heart cut was done in smooth white cardstock. 

I used Martha Stewart's heart border punch to finish the bottom edge of the card.  I backed the card front in a distress pink "solid" from the Heidi Swapp to better display the border punch pattern.

I used my oval nesties to cut out and emboss the "For the New Mr. & Mrs." tag.  I backed the tag with a scalloped oval nestie cut in solid pink.  I embellished the card with Prima flowers, ribbon, and a button.  The finishing touch was the wedding heart pin added to the flowers. 

BBTB Blog Hop, Blog Candy.....And a Wedding????

Hello blog hoppers! Welcome to Busy with the Cricky - you arrived *just in time* to celebrate a wedding with me! Have you heard? The Restroom door symbols eloped to Bora Bora!


When Regina assigned this weeks Bitten by the Bug challenge cut, the man and woman, I immediately thought of the restroom door signs.


I cut the man and woman in three colors: light blue, white, and black as well as the shadow cut. I used scissors and trimmed the black and white cuts into the clothing shapes. I used a piece of ribbon as the veil, and added stickles to create an overall bridal dress shimmer.


Did I mention the blog candy??? I am offering a set of 12 blank cards and envelopes, in the cutest paper prints, complete with a storage container. Just leave a comment below and I will select a random winner on Thursday.


And finally, now that you have dropped by and helped to celebrate the wedding, you should continue on your way to the next stop on the blog hop. Who knows what wonderful things await you at the blog of the kind and amazing Regina!!! Enjoy your trip!
