Had a Ruff Day? (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a few cards to show today as it's been such hot weather here I managed to tuck myself away in my air-conditioned house and craft, yay! There's no excuse today though, it's a beautiful 24 degrees or something. So this sky in the card does not represent my current view outside my window and I hope it doesn't look like your sky too hehe. The image is from Bugaboo.

On your wedding day card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I created this card for my sister and her new hubby originally but I really wanted to add their names to personalise it and I realised at the end that there was just nowhere it looked right on this card so I had to make a new one and I'll keep this one for another time as I really liked how it turned out. I've not made many wedding cards so I find it very difficult. Under the little white rose in the top right hand said "our" which is why I covered it and added some alphas to say "on your" instead.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Card Mania - layer it
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper

Creatalicious -  anything goes with optional twist: HNY/Wishes 

Cute Card Thursday -  anything goes
