A Bridal Shower Card

Hello - and happy stamping to you!  I am attending a bridal shower this weekend for an excited bride-to-be!  Her name is Carlyle - and her new last name will begin with an "L."  I couldn't be happier for her!  She has found a really special guy (and I think he's pretty lucky to have found Carlyle, too!) and they are tying the knot very soon and I was delighted to be invited to her bridal shower!  This card is a direct case from Becky Jensen.  I had to improvise with a Big Shot alphabet that I already had, but I love the idea of hanging a monogram down from the bow - after all, it's all about her new last name, right?  I'm happy that I kept a couple of those "Pretties Kits" from Stampin' Up!  They contain all sorts of pearls and clear jewels and a hat pin to string them on.  It came in handy for Carlyle's card and I think it's lovely!  I used all Stampin' Up! merchandise for this card.  Best wishes to you, Carlyle.  You're going to love my gift and I can't wait to give it to you!

    Thank you, both! Susan, the embossing folder is the Finial Press. I think it's one of the prettiest folders Stampin' Up! has ever offered!

    Penny I had to share with you - I went on Ebay and found this folder! I got it for $8.00! So tickled! Will think of you when I use it - :)

    Thank you for your kindness, Pat! After looking at your beautiful and professional photography, I realize my photos are pretty bad. Ha Ha! I have never been good at editing photos, but I sure which I had taken better pictures for my blog. The lighting in most of them is awful! Just recently a kind friend showed me how to use the editing features on my I-phone to get better photos and I couldn't believe how simple it is. Wish I had known!
