Lucky in Love Cricut Project

Next month, we're hosting an Engagement Party for my son and his fiancé.  They are getting married in Vegas so we decided to do a Vegas/casino theme for the engagement party.

I posted a photo of the invitations earlier and you can see them here.

I'm entering this on the Decorate to Celebrate challenge site.  Visit their site HERE.

Here's a banner that I made.



I'm going to make one more for the bar area.  I haven't started yet, but I know it's basically going to say BAR BAR BAR.  You know, like they hit the jackpot!  HA HA!  Love it!

I had a great idea for the table centerpieces but I made a sample and hated it.  Good thing I didn't invest $$ in supplies.  I wanted to cover a Styrofoam ball with rolled tissue flowers and then place that on a candlestick, but it was UGLY!!  I even closed one eye, squinted and looked again, but it was still UGLY!  And it wasn't as easy as it looked on Pinterest.  So, I'm back to the drawing board.

I may fall back on my "old reliable" which is decorated stakes and flowers in mason jars.  I'll take a trip to Pinterest and come up with something else.  We still have some large cards left from the invitations...hmmm...stay tuned.

Banner:
Indie Art Cricut Cartridge (dice, LUCKY, ribbon banner, and card suits)
Tie the Knot Cricut Cartridge (LOVE)
Storybook Cricut Cartridge (base shape for the words)
Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge (cherries)
Papers:  black and red cardstock SU!
Gold patterned paper
Fringe was made by layering black, red, and white crepe paper, sewing down the middle and a using shredder scissors.
