Let's Toast the Happy Couple

Happy Sunday, everyone!!  I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend so far!  Ours has been pretty quiet and normal...I cleaned and did laundry, we ran errands, I read quite a bit and Josh played his new game.  We watched Puss In Boots together on Friday night, and it was SO cute and funny!  Totally has adult humor in it that would completely go over a kid's head...I like when a cartoon can appeal to an entire family.

Sunday means it is time for the Flourishes Limelight Designer post, and this week I did a wedding card with some really pretty stamps.  I did a little photography tutorial on the Flourishes blog post, so you will want to go check that out if you want some tips on photographing your projects.  Feel free to ask me questions there or here on this post...and I will answer as best I can.  Here is what I created!
