I am happy to inform you that Victor the Vampire Owl has finally fallen in love. He has openly admitted to being a sucker for blondes with big red eyes. It is my pleasure to announce the engagement of Victor the Vampire Owl to Shelia the Socializing Skeleton.
An engagement party was held at the Transylvania Hospital's Blood mobile. Refreshing cocktails were enjoyed by all. Shelia proudly wore her matching marquis cut diamond earrings. A gift from Victor's Mother.
Carrying wild red roses, Victor looked resplendent in his Elvis knock off tuxedo.
A personal message was included in each and every announcement.
I will keep you posted as to the wedding details. Please RSVP to Simply Sandy.
Thank you so much!
Sandy, this is such fantastic fun, thanks for the laugh, I needed it. What a wonderful story you have made to go with your creation! LOVE this. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, this is wonderful news! I hope Sheila the Socialising Skeleton realises how lucky she is - Victor is such a handsome guy.
ReplyDeleteLove this card and your brilliant story, thanks for the laugh.
Hugs, Avril xx
Hi-lar-ious!! I'm pretty sure Sheila the Socialising Skeleton needs to keep an eye on Victor's drinking if they're going to be doing much socialising together - when the blood-drinker's eyes are bloodshot, it's time to go home... and don't let him drive!
ReplyDeleteFabulous spooky crazy bird - making the announcement in true style!

Hello Sandy and how lovely to see you here with such a fun story and card. Just love it and will look forward to the continued story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping into my little old blog and leaving your lovely comments.
I hope you and your are fit and well, Kate x
OMG...I'm so happy!!! I'm a complete sap for a good love story and now all I can think about is knitting. I need to get busy on baby booties and hats because you know it won't be long after the wedding that they bump uglies. So how many litters do you think a skeleton and Vampire owl have? And do they'll prefer to call their offspring Skowls or Owletons?
ReplyDeleteI'm all a flutter now with this glorious announcement and what ghoulishly gruesome and glorious announcement it is!! You have done this lovely couple justice.
Please mark me as having RSVP'd
HUGE HUGS to YOU!

Sandy, This is wonderful, I'm so happy for the couple. Love the story, the gate fold card was a super idea to share they love for each other. You outdone yourself on the Vampire Owl he is so handsome and with the flowers for his MIL to be, how thoughtful. The announcements are just too funny.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pat♥
PS, I just ordered the set.
OMW Sandy, fantastic story!! you had me hooked..
ReplyDeleteLove your card creation, brilliant layout on your fun card.. must use my T.H stamps.
Hugs Pam x
Sandy what a great story and such a fun project I just love these fabulous stamps
ReplyDeleteAnne
Hehehehehe, you're quite entertaining, Sandy! You definitely put a big smile on my face. Great layout.....awesome details! Totally love your project!
ReplyDeleteWell, I must say: You are back with a real bang! This was just delightful to read through the announcement, and enjoy these creatures' celebration. I'm wow'd by how you've used the CB - he looks quite handsome in his tux, and Sheila's visage is quite scary, but redeemed by those ear sparklers. Also liked the kraft kat tucked in amongst all the splendors. Really clever and well done. That must be an amazing new craft room to create this delight. Enjoyed _ALL_ of it! TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness dear! This is Pawsitively brilliant and hilarious all at the same time. Your crazy bird vampire and skeleton bride are so perfect together and I see many wonderful adventures to be had for the pair. There are so many stunning details to this post! Fantabulous on so many leveled!! Hugz. ~Niki

ReplyDeleteHi Sandy - thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog! To answer your question, I just keep practicing and going even when I make a mistake. I figure, if a mistake has already been done, then I don't have to worry about not making any others. LOL. The projects usually turn out, and on the ones that don't, I usually end up learning something.
ReplyDeleteI love this project and your paper bag projects a couple back are fantastic! I haven't made one of those yet and yours was very inspiring. :D
Love how you coloured Vixtor. Love the story too. Great piece. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteOh wow Sandy! I love this love story! And your card is amazing! Love Victor and Shelia! The touches of glitter are fabulous! Hugs, Sandra
