"wedding"

Any brit will no why and maybe lots of others too,I got to use a digi from our sponsor "whoopsi daisy"

A bit of bacardi

I was asked to make a card with bacardi and a music theme from a wife to her husband and i must admit i was a little scared!!! as in all the craft shops ive ever been in ive never seen anything bacardi lol, so it was of to google to have a nosey round, to be honest i never thought it would look any good but thats what she wanted, so i tried my very best to do something decent and this was the result!!Here is a close up of the front, i put a little heart charm on it for that emotional element, and the wording was copied word for word from what she waanted written and printed off my laptop
