A friend of mine is getting married this weekend. It dawned on me... I couldn't really make her a regular wedding card because she wouldn't be able to read it. You see, my friend and her fiance are both blind.
So, I pulled out and dusted off the ole' Fiskars "ShapeBoss" embossing system. After googling "braille alphabet" and printing out a copy, I was ready to go. I had to emboss the letters backward on the back side of the paper. It took about 45 minutes in oder to keep everything straight and not get confused. But, I was very pleased with the results. I cut the card out, rounded the corners and stamped a wedding cake on it (now they can't really see this... but the scrapbooker in me just needed to stamp something).
It is going to be such a special wedding. Two people found each other among the sea of humanity and fell in love...without ever seeing one another. It that is not a testimony of what true love should be like, then I don't know what is. I look forward to sharing this special day with them.
