For the perfect {pair}

Ahhh, weddings! They bring a tear of joy to my eye! Maybe even more than one! This past weekend I had the joy of watching a dear friend take her wedding vows. My heart was full to bursting with happiness for them. A great wedding also brings one more opportunity for my dear hubs and I to knowingly glance at one another and when our eyes meet we are thinking the same thing, " we still got it!" Yep, I can easily say we still got that sparkle of new love with a healthy dollop of history and experiences together resting jauntily on top. LOVE IT! So back to my friends wedding...They do make the perfect pair so why not a couple of pears to symbolize their sweet relationship? I loved this concept when I saw it at my brother and sister in law's wedding. They included the most perfect green pears to the entryway of their wedding hall. I've had this idea filed away for almost 5 years! So glad to see it come together in paper fashion here on this card.

Going the clean and simple route but with some cool details. OK, I seriously know I need to go to therapy for my overuse of the cuttlebug swiss dots folder but DANG! How can I stop...they are PERFECT on just about everything. :)

The sentiment was printed in word and then there are the black bling. I was stunned to find I owned no black bling! BUT, staz on refill and some clear mini gems to the rescue and voila! black bling!

And since I extra pieces of pear hanging about from my trials through the cricut, I went ahead and fashioned an envelope label using word for their monogram and nestabilities for the ovals. This pear got a little clear glitter as well. The envelope was run through with non other than the famous swiss dots folder. It makes a great center accent!

Thanks for stopping by today! I really appreciate it! Back with more tomorrow....
