I was very excited when Julie(justwritedesigns) announced that the Featured Stamper is Peggy(jasonw1). I "met" Peggy a couple of years back during the Dare to Get Dirty week. Her Madera Rose card still takes my breath away whenever I see it : Madera Rose by jasonw1 at Splitcoaststampers. I badly needed to make a wedding card (the newlyweds are now on their honeymoon, that's how bad it is, LOL!), so thank you, Peggy and Julie for the inspiration. More details, pics and the usual back story are in my blog: http://www.gemscottage.com/wordpress/?p=1355
Thanks for looking!
***Update*** I was rushing to post this (it took me the better part of Sunday and Monday morning to work on this card - so I had to catch up on a lot of housework, LOL!), and I forgot to mention where I got the leaves/vines image. The image is a freebie in my blog last year - and it is still a freebie (SisterSandie - no need to buy anything!). I have updated the post in my blog to point to the freebie. If you have a cutting machine that has a trace function (Cricut/SCAL set-up, Silhouette, etc), then you can cut out the leaves/vines frame I used.
Thank you for the sweet comments - I appreciate them all!

OMG Gem...Your card took my breath away too :-) I see Peggy's strong Elegant influence, but this card is definitely you too. Your card will be treasured by the new couple. TFS
