We got back into Canada Monday morning and I thought I would share some pictures from our wedding in the Dominican. It was so beautiful, they did everything just like I wanted. The amount of flowers they used was incredible - the amount we paid for the whole wedding there would cost as much as just the flowers would have if the wedding was here! I was initially upset it was cloudy out but then quite relieved actually because otherwise I never would have lasted in my dress. I didn't include pictures of the wedding party or the family that came with us because I don't know if they would be comfortable with me sharing those pictures.
Anyway, this is my Daddy walking me down the aisle.

Pointing at absolutely nothing, I just love this photo though.

The photographer we had was so amazing. It's weird how some of the positions he put us in felt so akward and we were sure the photos would be terrible but they turned out gorgeous.
I will hopefully be able to start having time to craft in the next couple weeks to share some craft photos - but I'm not committing to anything! I'll definitely have some magnets that I made that I'll share because I made them before we left but never got around to photographing them. Plus, I never did end up making all of my thank you cards for the reception ahead of time so I'll be busy with those too!
This card uses the colours kraft, basic gray and basic black which combine for a more masculine feel. The straight lines and few embellishments also lend well to making a masculine card.
This card was created using Jen's June 13th Sketch for You to Try (SFYTT) and I love the way it turned out. You'll notice I ended up affixing the sentiment underneath the main image instead of over it (as in the sketch) but I felt it looked better this way! 
You can see our favours are personalized decks of cards (again with the colours also the same) - we thought it was a good favour because it gave some of the kids something to do during the reception as well as we play a lot of cards so it was something special to our relationship as well!
For the tables we printed all of the names out in chocolate chip on whisper white paper and matted it with certainly celery paper. Once that was done, we felt like there wasn't enough green so we took certainly celery 5/8" grosgrain and adhered it along the edges of the frame. It looked great and we had lots of comments on it! For a total of about $50 we created our own personalized seating plan in our wedding colorus! 
These were my first attempt ever at making magnets so they aren't perfect but I learned a few things along the way that I'll take with me if and when I make some more! Some of the magnet images are fuzzy and I found out that was because I glued the magnet on before the other product on the back of the stamped image was dry. I'm not sure I'm patient enough for this type of project. Oh well, it's something fun and useful for my craft space.

I LOVE this sentiment for my Mom especially since I am a hair taller than she is and I usually round my height up to 5'1" when people ask (we're quite short I know)! I hope she enjoys her card and got to enjoy a bit of Mother's Day (since a fair chunk of it was spent on a plane going home from our wedding in the Dominican). My Mom (and Dad) have done so much to make our wedding everything I have always dreamed of and for that (and so many other things) I can't thank her enough. I only hope when I have kids I am half the Mom that she is.
This card packs a lot of punch with the bright flower! It was created simply by stamping the flower in basic gray on cameo coral and using my SU paper snips to cut it out. Then I just glued it off center on the main panel for some added interest. I rounded all the edges on the card to balance the rougher edges of the flower - if that makes sense!
