I'm here today guest designing with CASology, I was so happy to have won the 10th challenge last week with my Lawn Fawn Owl card... I haven't had much time to play along with challenges for weeks so winning a guest designer spot was a bonus :0)
This weeks cue word is SHOE and as always I had to think aside from the obvious.....
I needed a card for a family wedding this Saturday so I came up with the idea of silver horse-shoes for the bride and groom!
I love the purity of white space on a wedding card and the PTI impression plate gives a faux quilted texture alongside the (not so neat) stitching *wink*
Thank you so much to Melissa and her fab DT for having me join them this week, I can't wait to hop over and see their cards.... in fact it'll be fun to see how everyone uses the cue word :0)
Talking of shoes..... I thought I'd share a photo of our estate car stuffed to the roof just before we set off to the University of Bath with Hannah at the weekend...
Yep there's quite a few pairs of shoes and bags of clothes in there...... from memory of the rooms we saw last summer I really thought we would be bringing some of it back but she has moved in easily... and still has space for all the text books and folders she'll accumulate soon :0)
I'm going to really miss her around home but with James keeping me on my toes, it certainly isn't going to feel like an empty nest!!James came with us to see Hannah's new room but the highlight of the trip for him was finding the laundry room....

Love your card, the white is so elegant, and the horse shoes are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOh how totally creative!!
ReplyDeleteLove how your mind works, Jenny! I love that horse shoe die cut - can you tell me what it is? I'll need it for my horsey stash! lol!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool wedding card! Love those horseshoes and the sweet flowers. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought of you yesterday because someone on Radio 1 was talking about all the estate cars on the roads stuffed with uni students and all their gear! I wondered if you were one of them. :)
And bless James - he looks like he's entered nirvana!
Congratulations on your guest designer win. This is a super creative wedding card, and also a very ingenious take on 'shoe'
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the challenge Jenny! This is so pretty...a good luck charm for the new couple? Love it!
ReplyDeletea fabulous card, as always, jenny! so glad to have you guest designing with us this week at CASology!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wedding card Jenny, definitely thinking outside the box, or even in the horse box!! Uni time is when you thank goodness you have an estate car and not a Smart car:) What an amazing laundry room I think I'd have been mesmerised too!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jenny, on your well deserved win! I think horseshoes are very creative! I love it and it's perfect for a wedding card!
ReplyDeleteI hope her transition is a smooth one...such exciting times for her! And I love your card...what a great way to use the shoe theme!
ReplyDeleteWhat's an estate car? Good luck to you daughter! This card is amazing, and once again, so clever!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would do something other than a literal shoe, and you did not disappoint! Love your idea, and love your execution! Smashing card, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteShould I admit that I've never heard of an estate car before?! I'm thinking it's a roomy one : )
Great card Jenny, love it. Great photo's too x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Jenny, clever thinking too.
ReplyDeleteWell-deserved congrats, Jenny! I adore this out-of-the-box idea - and such a clever one for a wedding card :)
ReplyDeleteSeeing your trunk all packed reminds me of trying to fit all my things in suitcases coming home...a degree in spatial relations would have been very handy.
And James looks so in his element! I know both my kids are mesmerized when they see a bank of front-load washers, and I can only imagine James is the same!
Congratulations on your win Jenny - it's lovely to see you guesting. Your card is brilliantly off the wall - love those horse shoe charms. Glad to hear Hannah managed to fit some of her wardrobe into the car LOL and I can just imagine that James was in seventh heaven with all those washing machines! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteSuper take on this theme! I do like the tiny flowers on the horseshoes!
ReplyDeleteThe car was totally stuffed - but wait until she brings stuff home to clean :) Love the photo of James! I'm sure Hannah will have a ball - and work hard too :)
Fab twist to the challenge Jenny. It looks stunning. Hope you are coping with Hannah away. x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning the guest designer spot, Jenny. Very well-deserved!!
ReplyDeleteYour card this week is so creative and it will be the stand-out wedding card for the couple!
such a cute card jenny, and a great idea for a "shoe" card ... have a great time at the wedding :o)
ReplyDeleteJenny, I love to see what creative ideas you come up with...always thinking outside the box! Perfectly adorable card!
ReplyDeleteLove your out of the box thinking on this one Jenny (as usual:)! Those little horseshoes are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the behind the scenes look at Hannah's move! I agree with James that the laundry room is impressive!
Congrats on your GD gig Jenny! Love your take on the 'shoe' inspiration! Thanks also for sharing the photos of the big move, the house must surely feel different now.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! Congrats on your well deserved win for this brilliant and Jenny-esque creation. Only you would put these pieces together from this cue! I love all of the white space, and those tiny flowers are the perfect embellishment. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and James in his washing machine heaven made me grin from ear to ear. Laundry!
ReplyDeleteI love these horse-shoes and your stunning card! I hope you enjoy the wedding, Hugs x x
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your GDT position this week. Your idea is great using the horseshoe. Gorgeous card. Bet you're going to miss your daughter like crazy...too bad they have to leave the nest.
