There was a wedding....

 And if I had a do-over then I would look to this one for inspiration. I have been admiring this wedding through a number of blogs but here are some of my favourite photos. The imagination and spirit of this bride and groom are something to marvel at.

New tags - Doiley and Floral Fancy


So yesterday I worked really hard and finished my three new tag/card designs. They had been in my head for ages so yesterday was about getting them out there and done.

I also managed to fit in getting the tags printed and then spent last night hand-cutting them all. I had a wee issue with my new jute twine - I was SO excited when I found this (I know, it IS sad when someone gets excited about string) but my excitement was short-lived when I realised that it cut up my tags when I put them together. OH well. I will find plenty of other uses for it.

So here they are. Tags first. Cards and mini cards tonight.

Don't forget the Giveaway which closes early next week. I will add a set of these tags to the giveaway prize - just because I can!

I hope you are having a lovely weekend - wherever you may be!
