Happily Ever After....

I know it's not June and the traditional

time for weddings, but I was in the mood

to make a wedding card, so here you go...

This sweet little image is from

A Day For Daisies and is called

"Dreaming of her wedding day."

It depicts a young girl wearing an over-sized wedding gown

and dreaming of her special day.  I think it's

a perfect image for a wedding or bridal shower card.

Fabulous You!

 Hi there!

Time flies when you're busy creating and I

didn't realize it had been so long since I posted

a card to share with you.  Oops!

I've been busy preparing to teach a class at

my local scrapbook shop, and completing

the project I'm going to teach.

After the class, I will be sharing that

project with you.  I can't wait!!  :)

On to today's card!!

This digital image is one I've used previously,

and will use again and again,

because she's so precious!!

She's "Alisa with roses" by Mo Manning from

Mo's Digital Pencil.  I love the sweet look

on her face and the way her dress sweeps

to the side.  I think she's so sweet!!

A side glance for you:
