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)
