Weddings or Anniversary at Craft this week

Morning folks still raining here and have a wash load ready to switch on but hate damp clothes in the house and refuse to use my dryer. Lol. Well more cost on elec less money to spend on goodies.
This week at Craft we would like to see Wedding or Anniversary cards/projects so get your thinking caps on and come and join us.
Our sponsors this week are MELJEN DESIGNS   Wags N WHISKERS  & CRAFTS YOU PRINT
We are so lucky that we get images to play with from our sponsors and we thank them for this and there continued support.
For my card I picked this cute image from WAGS N WHISKERS  but only used the top part they do have full bodies really. Now you may say is this a wedding card not really a wedding image and they look pretty young maybe they are whispering about their future plans. My idea behind this is that it is a card to send to a friend as an ANNIVERSARY card of our friendship just to say how much there friendship means over the year. What do you think?

I have use DP from G.C.D Rose Coloured Glasses pad. Some yummy ribbon tee hee these are getting to be a regular on my card. Image is cut with a nestie and coloured with promarkers and then chalked round the image. Few gems for the corner and the sentiment is a Papermania  one. Another C.A.S card from me today as I didnt want to hide the fab paper it has a lovely feel and texture to it but you will have to trust me on that one.
Well hope you can find alittle time to come and play as we love popping by and hope you will pop over and share some love with the rest of the team.
