This card comes with a story about my "little" cousin, Katie. Years ago, Katie was a junior bridesmaid in my wedding. She's now engaged to be married in September and today was her bridal shower. They had the cutest party favors: heart shaped sugar cookies with white frosting and glittered stripes in silver and apple green (her wedding party colors). Well, these cookies were wrapped in clear bags and tied with the ribbon you see on this card. Attached was a tag with a cute saying and the glittered cake with the rhinestone on top that you see on this card. All I needed was cardstock, a border punch, and the "Happily Ever After" image stamped in silver and now I have her wedding card. What do you think?

Jen, I thought your card was absolutely gorgeous and really special, but after reading your little story your neice will surely "Treasure" her card from her wonderfully creative auntie. TFS both your story and card. Into my fav's

Perfect recycling and what a keepsake for Katie! I never thought of Green Galore as apple green before, but it is!!! Too bad SU doesn't "recycle" the color and call it apple green! Hugs for your week Jen. PS: cute card!

Sweet card! With the color people use on their save the date cards and invitations, it is easy to make personalized wedding cards. Love the way you used the elements with the sketch!
