I later found out that my husband had gone to the restaurant a few days before to get one of our regular fortune cookies. He carefully cut open the plastic, then he used hot steam from boiling water to open the fortune cookie without breaking it. After replacing the fortune with his own message, he steamed the cookie shut, then placed it back in the plastic wrapper and glued the wrapper closed with a dab of crazy glue. He snuck it in his jacket pocket that Sunday night and secretly slipped it to our waitress. Thank goodness she didn't accidentally deliver it to the wrong table!
The table favors at our wedding were beautifully embellished cellophane bags containing white and dark chocolate-dipped fortune cookies to commemorate the sweet proposal. One of the messages tucked inside some of the fortune cookies was this lovely quote: "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be." I used the quote as the title for this page:
I made this page with Prima products, including one of the new canvas sheets that I used as the base for the page. The canvas comes painted with these colorful butterflies. I added clusters of colorful embellishments to match the colors on the canvas underneath.
To highlight the photos and give the rest of the page some subtle sparkle, I coated the area outside of my stitched circle with Mod Podge, then I sprinkled glitter over it while it was still wet.
Thanks for stopping by!!
