I Thought And Thought And Then I Forgot

I've been meaning to post this since Monday of last week but my scrambled-egg-for-brains isn't retaining much at the moment.  I think I have Goldfish Syndrome!  The good news is that I did remember to send the card in plenty of time though.

My dear sweet friend Samantha has recently celebrated her 1st wedding anniversary and this is the card I made to send to her and Efisio.


I've used Sugar Nellie stamp Bubble & Squeak, distress inked, and teamed it up with these delicious papers from MME.  Martha Stewart punch-around-the page (which I had to "tweek" with a craft knife as despite the instructions it didn't line up properly), LOTV sentiment, some twinkling gems and some gold braid peel-offs.  I put one of the smallest twinkling gems in each of the wine glasses to look like tiny champagne bubbles.

I can't believe it was a year ago that we were celebrating the happy day!

    Great card Squirrel. I love the dotty paper to look like the bubbles. I agree with you about MS punches - not 100% happy with mine.

    Ok, you hooked me with the title and then made me laugh with the Goldfish Syndrome!! At least now I've got a name for it, since I think I've got it too, about 1/2 the time. Great card. Don't work to hard, I'm sure that's what's causing your Goldfish moments. Have no idea what MY excuse is!!
