Bridal Shower Oldie

Happy Thursday and Happy Oldie But Goodie Day with Bugaboo Stamps!

Here's a little ditty I put together for a bridal shower I went to.  I tried a little something different - I trimmed off the front edge a bit so I could decorate the inside edge - that's the reason there are two photos - this one is a photo of just the front

And this is a photo of the entire card (that blue edge is actually the inside of the card)

 Brave Soldiers that keep us safe and protect our freedoms!!

I ran across these super cute MelJen's Designs digis a few weeks ago when she was having the 50% off sale (YEAH!) and thought they would be perfect for a few cards to our Soldiers Angels Soldiers.

2. When I'm not papercrafting, I enjoy.... Spending time with my hubby cooking (yep, we LOVE cooking at our house) or if we're full, fat and happy, I'll probably be knitting felted slippers, socks, baby blankets or market bags.

3. My favorite Whimsie Doodles image is.... WHAT?  Just ONE??  Hmmmmm, well, ONE of my Favorite FAVORITE Whimsie Doodles image is the little Smokin' Hot Grillin' Guy that reminds me all too much of my hubby (and his grill - are you seein' the FOOD theme here at all??). 

I do love the gnomie collection too though! =)

4. My favorite papercrafting technique is... I LOVE LOVE LOVE Embossing and Distressing!
