Till Death Do Us Part




LOVE
NEW BEGINNINGS
LIFE
SORROW & JOY
SICKNESS & HEALTH

I probably should not write blog posts after 2 glasses of Vino!!! The above sentiments are some of the emotions and thoughts swirling around in my head. Today's post will be happy but there is always a little piece of me that becomes shadowed with Loss. If you read my blog regularly, then you know we are an active duty Navy Family and my husband is an EOD (explosives ordnance disposal tech (BOMB SQUAD).... This week has had many UP's & DOWN's for our community.

That being said let's Celebrate LIFE!!!!!!! A couple of days ago we attended a beautiful Sicilian wedding of a fellow EOD tech and his new bride. I don't often create wedding or bridal cards but to me they must be CLEAN & SIMPLE aka ELEGANT..........

Above you can see the card but here is a peek at the inside.

I was concerned with misspelling their name so I chose to just use a Monogram. WELLLLLLLL, that prompted my creations of these (Monogrammed labels)

I wouldn't want to leave you without a few more photos, so here's one of the Bride & Groom


And one of David & I

CHALLENGES I USED:
The Crazy Challenge: Something New (starting a new life counts surely?)
Crafty Creations: Encouragement or Celebration
ABC Challenges: Unused Stash (the embossed wedding Design Paper has been in my stash for 4 years)
Stamp Something: Celebrate Something
Fab n Funky Challenges: Make Your Own (I made my own Monogrammed labels)
Crafty Cardmakers: Inside Out (decorate the inside of your card also)
