You're What?

Hello there!
Are you happy that the weekend is almost here? I am...It's been one of those weeks.

Admittedly the start of my week was a little upsetting for DH and I due to his daughter but then it turned into a busy and lovely week catching up with other family members and many of my friends.
It's like someone was watching over me and decided I needed to be reminded that I am loved and EVERYONE got in touch!

I lunched with one of my dearest friends on Wednesday - A few weeks prior she called to tell me that she was marrying her long time partner - I never saw that coming and I'm so happy for them!
Of course I had to make a card but an engagement card just didn't seem right so here's what I made


This is the inside  


I computer generated the sentiments and paired up some DP with a digital image

Polka dot Bella from Sassy Cheryl's   - Isn't she adorable! I love the look of surprise in her face


I seem to be obsessed with that little Memory Box mushroom but it just went so well here don't you think?
My sweet friend was so thrilled with her card that she commissioned me to make her Save the date cards and her wedding invitations!

To round of this week I am seeing yet another dear friend today but before I go I'd like to thank 
for picking my card as Chic of The Week! I'm honoured! What a lovely week it turned out to be

Enjoy your day and take care

~ Ros ~
