This cute Digi Darla image was perfect for this LO.  And, yes, we did manage to pull off a wedding in near blizzard weather.  But aren't challenges what make life interesting, LOL!  

I thought this was one of the most awesome pictures of the evening.  They braved the -15 temps, Hannah in diamond encrusted flip flops, for a photo that captured the magic of the evening.

So now we'd love to see your take on an 'anything goes' challenge.  One of my favorite times of the day is when I get to visit everyone who enters the challenge and see all your creative projects!

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

Hor d'oeuvres

It's time for a new challenge at Digitally Sweet Challenges.

Theme

Anything Goes

I don't suppose it's any surprise that my LO is wedding related!  My very soon to be DDIL asked me to make her hor d'oeuvres and I was delighted to do so.  These are the easiest ones but they are all 'make ahead',  so there won't be any stress.  Although, making 600 might take a bit of time, LOL.

I hope you'll join us for another 'anything goes' challenge; I know it's everyone's favorite!

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

I chose to work with this gorgeous fairy image.  I love the colors and the wintery feeling; very reflective of the frosty temperatures we're having right now.

This is a very short post as I'm off to shop for a 'mother of the groom' dress.  The wedding will be in 2 weeks; do you think I wait till the last minute, LOL!  I hate shopping!

I hope you will have time to join us, you'll have a chance to win 6 gorgeous images like this one.  How cool is that!

My card today couldn't have been quicker.  I used a card panel from the design paper.  The die cuts and image were embossed in gold and then I added a ribbon and a sweet little flower.  The beautiful, pre-designed card panels are a life saver when you need something quick.
