or is that FOR ME!! Finally had a chance to stamp a little (last weekend was full with wedding preparation and more to do this weekend, so I snuck in a Friday night... go ME!!). Last Saturday was the date to pick out/order flower girls and junior bridesmaid dresses/shoes/hair flowers. My daughter is marrying an "older" man and his youngest, Maddie-7th grade next year, and the little ones needed to get their "ensembles" for the wedding. The little ones are 3 and 6 with blond Shirley Temple hair (lots of curls for those of you who don't know who Shirley is!!). The 6 year old was feeling like a princess and the youngest was getting bored. Absolutely adorable!! Maddie (14) will be in heels- the 3 1/2" ones!! I'm thinking she needs to practice a little!! Lauren, the bride, found hers- a pair of 4" Vera Wang stilettos!! Not me- I'm wearing flats 'cause by that night I'm dancing a little- I definitely will deserve it by then, LOL!!
Anyway, back to business... Verve weekly sketch challenge... week 1 for August with Amber's sketch....

Now... is that girl "frou frou" or what??? Get tickled... I was not "puffy" when I got married. She is sooooooo excited and everyone keeps saying I'm going to cry and I keep saying, I think I'll be okay but, honestly---I think there are tears in the forecast!!
Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday. My "bride" is coming over and we're looking into hotels today, phew.... getting married is a little project!!
Love when you stop by and appreciate all the kind words!!

Wonderful distressing on the card and loving the double layered butterfly. Another great take on the sketch! Frou frou all the way with that dress and she looks soooo happy in it :) Love how each person has a dress for them - that's why we love watching Say Yes To The Dress. A mom's help is priceless when planning a wedding and I'm sure you will get a bit teary on the day. As for the stilettos - she can have them LOL! And I'm sure she will be dancing without them ;) Have a great weekend!
This card is gorgeous and so is the bride!!! tfs!!!
Beautiful card, Vickie! Love those papers you used! How exciting to have your daughter's wedding coming up! She looks beautiful in her dress!
I knew when I saw you MIA in blog land that the wedding plans were probably consuming all your time. Your daughter looks beautiful in her dress! It's always good to have a tissue tucked in hand for the occasion (ask me how I know)! I did pretty well at my son's wedding...usually I cry at everything...even sad commercials - but I kept things pretty dry for the most part at the wedding - lol! Oh...your card is lovely as always! :-)
