Chapter 1

so i mentioned before that my sister got married last year. well, her maid of honor was engaged at the time, and now her wedding came up on march 2010. 

she is already a wedding specialist extravaganza, who has her own blogs. Amy writes the Relentless Bride blog and manages the Weddzilla Blog! and ... she has many contest giveaways and just great hands-on information on photographers, cake makers, dresses, whatever you can think of, she writes about. she also got very hands on with her own wedding, and in the process she has so much experience, i would definitely recommend checking out her blogs when planning your wedding!

i volunteered to make a cake topper for her, as we got to know each other a lot better being bridesmaids together for my sister's wedding :). good times.  she graciously said YES and as i was planning to create a traditional bride and groom wearing a tux and a gown, she announced that she would like her and hubby to be wearing... Jerseys!  Sports jerseys!

Huh?! i was confused! i dont know anything about sports!  but yes, that's what she wanted. and she also wanted her and his dogs!  i've never made dogs before. that was a fun idea!

so she got me some pics of her and her fiance, and her doggies, and i started on a sketch.

The original sketch i made for the couple and their dogs:

And the finished project:

she took the funniest pics of the lil clay dogs and the cardboard cutouts she had from her wedding for her photobooth props! (that's a really fun, great idea btw!)  i also really liked this pic she took of the toppers after her wedding was done:
