My Best Friends Wedding...Card(s)

Just like in a lot of movies, guests often dread the thought of attending weddings alone. I’ve been invited to a few weddings this summer. As you might assume, I’ll be going alone. The mere thought of it makes me cringe. It should be made mandatory that the betrothed allow invitees to bring dates. Though, I realize that weddings are expensive and it might not be financially feasible to institute this rule. However, if I’m compelled to attend then I feel that I should be allowed to bring someone along to share the experience, good or bad. But, I digress….

I thought I would step it up a notch by making my own card for the wedding. The ceremony is this weekend; however, I've been putting off making it for quite some time. Yikes! I'm almost finished but I feel that something is missing. I haven't been able to pinpoint what it is, yet. (And I don't mean the well wishes). Here's a preview of the unfinished card. I have only 3 days to make it happen. Wish me luck!

An alternative to traditional cards

Ribbons

Doesn't a card or gift wrapped with a pretty bow/ribbon make it all the more appealing?! I'm obsessed with anything remotely related to ribbons. I add them to everything, cards/gifts, you name it. My problem is that I never seem to have the right color to match whatever it is that I'm making. So, I end up purchasing more. Here's my tiny collection which I'm hoping to add more to....=)

Happy Summer!

One of my favorite cards I made recently. Being an amateur stamper, I think I did a pretty decent job. I used a really cute bee stamp from Katie & Co. If you look closely, the bees pop up.
