Nice pick for the FS this week, Beth. Julie's gallery is one I have strolled. I really like her uncluttered, crisp style! I have several I'd like to case. First up this beautiful chandelier card. I changed my image, colorway, added texture with the cuttlebug and a floral instead of polka dots. I kept the layout and shape.
I love these faded florals from Jenni Bowlin's 4x4 mini packs of papers. They remind me of the wallpaper in my grandmothers' home. I combined it with SU's bashful blue that was cuttled with the textile folder. My cardbase is GP white cs. I used Making Memories wine cs and SU's pink pirouette. The wonderful chandelier is Memory Box which was inked with Memento Tuxedo Black and embossed. I used three shades of stickles on the crystals and the flames. The finishing touch is the runched ribbon from Making Memories.
I hope you enjoy your special day on SCS, Julie...you have an lovely gallery. Thanks for looking my friends and always your comments are delightful!

As always, I love your use of color and texture. I especially like the sparkling crystals on the chandelier and the way you tied that gorgeous ribbon. Wow!
