only very recently that I've taken up the Challenge of Design Team positions and
am taking the timeto thank all of you who have entrusted me with their crafty babies -
thank you so much for that.

This morning I came a cross a Blog Challenge asking folks to consider their
favourite 2013 project so have thought long and hard on this one!!

The reason why I have chosen this card as my favourite is
that it was made with much love for the Wedding of a
Very Special Couple.
