OLD, NEW, BORROWED, & BLUE BLOGHOP!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue Blog Hop!


Wedding bells will soon be ringing as the wedding season is almost here, and the design teams of Red Carpet Studio and The Paper Nest Dolls have teamed up to provide you with some beautiful wedding inspiration by creating projects using Paper Nest Dolls digital stamps! If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit Red Carpet Studio.

Red Carpet Studio is a movie-themed challenge blog that runs weekly challenges, alternating between layout and card challenges each week. All of their challenges are inspired by either a movie or aspect of Hollywood!
The Paper Nest Dolls is a brand new digital/rubber stamp shop that sells adorable stamps inspired by the designer's children. Their stamps are sold here and they just started a challenge blog as well!










For my project today, I made...

 
For this project, I decided to make a favor a bride-to-be could use at a wedding shower as a centerpiece for a table.  I used the digi stamp entitled "Wedding Couple" from Paper Nest to build this project.  First, I took a simple, inexpensive frame from the Hobby Lobby to give the "directions" for those attending the shower.  The poem inside the frame reads, "Because you are OLD pros at marraige and we are very NEW, we would like to BORROW words of wisdom so we are never BLUE."  Surrounding the frame are two envelopes where guests can write their messages to the bride to be.  I kind of wish I would have had something like this when I got married....something like this could have possibly made that first year with my husband a little more tolerable...Hee Hee!  Fourteen years, two kids, four pets later, we are still going strong!  Thank you for participating in our blog hop!  Enjoy checking out everyone's wedding theme projects!



The Paper Nest Dolls owner and artist, Christine, is very generously providing us with some blog candy from her online stamp shop and her brick and mortar scrapbooking store! To be eligible to win you must comment on every stop of both days of the hop.

  3. Such a great idea! I love your table messages and centerpieces. I used white frames my tables with book covers in them and they look great on tables. Your idea is so perfect.
