I know, I know...it has been forever since I posted last. Well, not forever but a week. Thank goodness for the fabulous Sketches By Carly challenges or I would never be posting.
Today starts a new challenge over at SBC and what a great sketch it is! We are sponsored by The Paper Shelter today and I got to use one of their adorable images that is just perfect for me right now. Yep, a wedding image. The winner will get a $20 gift certificate to the store...wow! Anywho, I colored and used purple for this card since it is one of the wedding colors (the other is gold), added some hearts and their name at the top. The embellie on the ribbon is another heart and then I painted it will Illuminate Smooch. The ribbon embellie was finished with a twine bow. Oh, and the lace of the view is all sparkly as well as all the little creases in the dress.
It has been such a busy week. Kyler had his 8th grade graduation (I'll post a photo or two later) for which grandma flew in from WI. We didn't really stop moving until...well, not yet! It has still been super busy but maybe Sunday will be better? Today is Kyler's last day of 8th grade and his last day at ECS. I am getting a little choked up just thinking about it. This school's tag line is 'education for the whole child' and indeed it is. They have taught his body in PE, his mind in his core subjects, and his soul in Bible. Not only has it been amazing for Kyler but it has been a place of friendship for me. I feel like I'm having more separation anxiety than Kyler is! I am going to take a deep breath and try not to break down and just bawl at some point today.
Well, there you have it. Have a wonderful Friday and weekend! See you back here soon!

such a beautiful wedding card, Lorie! As for the busy-ness, I hear ya, girl! It has been pretty busy around here too. Some days I think "Wow, I got a lot accomplished." others go by in a blur. :) Hugs, Kel
Oh, poor Lori! Hope the transition turns out to be a good one for you and Kyler both. I'll be praying for you both this summer. In the meantime, enjoy your summer! Your card is beautiful, and I can't believe that wedding is almost here! That time went by in a flash! You have a good day, dear friend - big hugs to you!
Lorie, you did a stunning job with Carly's sketch this week ~ love this!! You've really been doing lots of wedding cards... hmmm, does someone have a wedding on their mind? Wonder why?!! heehee. Love that you personalized this one with their names. Congrats to Kyler! We'll be there next year with Carly. Hope you have a wonderful sunny weekend! *Ü*
Yes, it is wedding season, so this is a perfect June card Lorie. Love the image inside the heart!
Beautiful wedding card Lorie!
What a gorgeous card Lori. I'm sure Ashley and Scott will treasure this one. Just because Skyler graduated doesn't mean you can't keep your ties with friends and/or the school. The Lord will guide you into your next adventure. Have a wonderful Sunday. Big hugs to you!
Hi Lorie!:)
This cad is so cute! I love the coloring on the bride and groom and the purple background paper!
