Crafty Cardmakers embossing & some wedding pics!

Oh sooo tired!  I've had a lovely day at mum's wedding - back fairly early because their 'reception' isn't until Saturday evening.  We just had champagne in a local cafe/ bar afterwards... followed by yummy hot chocolate lol :o)

Our challenge at Crafty Cardmakers for this fortnight is 'embossing', any kind.  So I made my mum's wedding card with this in mind... I don't like it though, so I didn't actually give it to her!  I'm going to make another one to give them at their reception instead.  Anyway, here's my card...



And here's a pic of my mum (and Andrew of course!) looking absolutely gorgeous!



And hubby and the boys playing in the fountain...


Morgan's on the left of the pic, Dex is with Pav.  OMG they were SO soaked by the time they'd done!  I skillfully avoided having too many pics taken - I hate having my pic taken and the few that Pav took with our camera are too revolting to share... so I won't!

Right, I'm planning on sitting with my feet up for a while and doing a bit of commenting, see you soon :o)

    Hi Lisa

    There is nothing wrong with your card .. .. it is lovely and I am sure your Mum would have loved it too.

    Thank you for sharing the photographs. I love the one of your men folk in the fountains .. .. and getting soaked will have made the day even more memorable for them.

    Love Jules xx

    I think your card is lovely, Lisa, it's elegant and suits the occasion perfectly ...but I do understand that you want to give your mum something that you feel so good about that you can't wait to give it to her, so that's what you should do! Dee
