Invitation Wedding Card #3

Continuing my little "tradition" of making a wedding card from the couple's invitation, I got to make one from Cousin T's pretty paper mail.

Here's her invitation:

And here's my little card :)

I just used the belly band on a Cuttlebugged sheet of pearly cardstock.  Too simple, yeah?


For more fun I made buttons from the little faces.

And attached them to the invites pocket, perfect for stashing a little lai see envelope!

The lucky cat is so cute! (If you guessed Daiso, you are correct. Ha!)

I remember when I first noticed Cousin T. (She's not a blood-cousin, but I call her a cousin anyway. It started as a Sailor Moon bad-dubbing reference.)  I was a freshman in highschool and only had a few friends  from elementary school.  Our interests had drifted apart, and though I wasn't alone, I felt alone (if that makes any sense). I had started my venture into otakuism, first with Pokemon and then with DBZ and Sailor Moon.  And I noticed Cousin T in one of my classes - talking about the very things I had a budding new interest in.

I knew I had to be her friend.  Not a normal way like "hey, nice to meet you", but in a much more passive creeper way.  I drew Sailor Moon characters, shoved them in the front of my clear-view binder, and sat next to her, hoping that she'd notice and say something to me.  Yeah, so smooth.

She did notice though - and she instantly invited me into her circle.  She is the kindest, friendliest girl I have ever met, and I am really blessed to be her friend.

As for her new husband, Friend M - he was a grade younger than us in school, but I always called him a prodigy - he is a very smart guy, and also mature! We gave them a hard time when they first started dating (younger men in high school, unheard of!), but really they are a great match.  True highschool sweethearts. Big congrats to the two of them!


How did you make friends in school? I still haven't gotten any less awkward at it! :P
