Wedding time!

We're off to a wedding tomorrow, so I spent last night creating a card. I took the main structure from my last engagement card post, but did a fair bit of gold embossing this time. I used the 5 petal flower punch and the flower stamp from SU polka dot punches. Finally got to use a stamp from my new stamp set: Curly cute.
I had a little bride and groom stamp from my own wedding-so added this motif too. Without it it could have been an engagement or even baby card! Will have to work on that one.

Wedding scrapbook pages~ Z&B

Here's one of quite a few wedding scrap book pages I have created. I started with the patterned background pages from Scrapaholix's february kit and went for green as a contrasting colour to the purples.

I've used an array of cutting tools to create the shapes shown: punches (for the scalloped edges and small squares) Creative Memories Custom Cutting System -circles and the black swirly frame was made with a die and the Big shot die cutting machine

To have and to hold

When it comes to weddings I always seem to forget to take a photo to remind me of what card i've made, but luckily I remembered on this occasion (back in Sept 2009!)
I have a little folder where I keep materials that I think will work well for wedding cards.
I particularly like this wedding ribbon that I bought for my own wedding from Cox & Cox (a very yummy catalogue store full of gifty type things)
