It's a Wedding....

OBG Thursday 

at Catch the Bug

My brother and SIL commissioned me to do a matching recipe page and wine bottle topper. The metric system is used in Switzerland, so I had to do some conversions to meet the requirements.  

Their friend, who is getting married, loved my Easy Chicken Pot Pie recipe, so I adjusted it to fit the recipe book the wedding party is going to give the couple.  The page must also include a wine selection and carry the same theme on the decorated bottle....all of which will be given to the couple at the wedding in Switzerland.  My recipe is shamefully easy, but if he likes it, and wants it...who am I to question...lol

Today, I'm showing the wine decoration and this Saturday (April 7) I will post the recipe sheet on the Catch The Bug challenge.  I used Roly Poly Chef - chalkboard from Bugaboo Stamps.

Copics, button, ribbon, punch. Memory Box die,  Silhouette grapes

Grape Cluster (Scrap Challenge)

       This is my scrap challenge for Scrappilyeverafter.  I've had this grape cluster rubber stamp for over 5 years.  I stamped some out on white cardstock but never knew what to do with them.  I bought a Martha Stewart punch last week (with a coupon of course), played around with some cardstock scraps and put them aside rather than throwing away.  A dedicated cardmaker NEVER throws scraps away...haha  Around that same time, I saw Dawn's ( My Stamping Thyme) blackberry cluster card on her blog and fell in love with her design. I didn't come close to the beauty of hers, but I am content with the outcome of mine.  It was her inspiration.  Thank you Dawn.  I don't have a sentiment for it yet...but when the time comes to send it to that special person, I will know.

Details: old grape cluster rubber stamp images, oval nestabilities (3 layers), dry embossing of squares on first layer, leaves embossing folder on 2nd layer, MS border punch, copic markers, and scrap ribbon.  (I would had rather use silk ribbon, but didn't want to buy since this was suppose to be made with scraps..this was the closest I could find to meet my needs). Size: 5x7
