Lovely Congratulations

Dynamo and I attended an engagement party over the weekend for some friends, and this was the card I made. As you can tell, I used my circle punch and the heart-to-heart punch! The cardstock is textured elegant eggplant and cranberry crush. I also used Jolly Holiday DSP. The sentiment is a portion of a jumbo Valentine's Wheel from Stampin' Up! I don't particularly care for the wheels as they come, so Dynamo makes me beautiful wooden blocks and I remount the wheels as regular stamps. I got the idea from Mary Fish, another demonstrator. She has an entire tutorial on her site about how to do this.

Here's a closeup...

Congratulations Whitney and Ryan!

Here they are...the happy couple! Whitney and Ryan are engaged! She also just bought a house! Can it really be that time flies so quickly? Whitney (aka "Killa" and "Queenie, Jr.") is all grown up! And, what a beautiful young woman she is.

For those of you who don't know, my mother calls me "Queenie." I'm not going to talk about why...I'll leave that up to you to determine. Whitney was my neighbor growing up and like my little sister, so she got the nickname "Queenie, Jr." We were together an awful lot. I can still remember her stellar packing skills when she got me all packed up and ready to go away to college (Did that really happen 12 years ago, Queenie, Jr?)!

Now, she's all graduated from college and is a fabulous teacher! She is a very special young lady and I'm so proud of her for her accomplishments. I know that she and Ryan will be very happy together and we wish them them happiness always!
