Good heavens! It's been so long since I've had the time to upload anything to Splitcoast that I've almost (but not quite!) forgotten how!! It's about time that I get it back in gear. And what better time than to play along with the FS challenge to honor my dear, dear friend Colleen! I'm so happy for you, Colleen!!!!!!
It's taken far too long to find time to do this, but I finally have a card I created in your honor, Colleen! After perusing Colleen's extensive and impressive Splitcoast gallery, I decided to CASE this beautiful card: Wedding Wishes by Smoatsmom at Splitcoaststampers
I kept Colleen's elegant layout, including the fancy Martha Stewart punch-around-the page frame, but changed the color scheme. I also substituted a similar oval frame and love flourish sentiment from my collection of DeNami Design stamps. The patterned papers are from the New Beginnings collection by Webster's Pages. I always admire how artfully Colleen uses pearls in her creations, so I just had to follow her lead on pearl placement for this card! This card will make a perfect anniversary card for all of those June wedding anniversaries that I like to remember.

Dear Emily, I am just tickled 'pink' that you played along with my Featured Stamper challenge! I know how busy life is for you right now.
I love the way you kept the same layout I had used on my wedding card, down to the same Martha punch around the edges. The light, bright colors look so good here, and I think it's absolutely perfect.
