Excitement Abounds!

Hello all, Julie here, standing in for Mrs. Marcella, who just so happens to STILL be on Cloud 9 after her weekend nuptials. I won't spill any beans or share any pictures, even though I would LOVE to because that is hers to share. I can't wait for her to chime in and tell us all about it and share some of her favorite memories of an oh-so-memorable event! What a beautiful night for one amazing and beautiful couple! 💗

So, until then, let's share some creative excitement, shall we? Before Marcy headed off to say "I do," she did decide to polish up a digital remix that is ripe for fall card making! Will you look at this?

Mum's definitely the word when you color up Autumn's Opulence -- three mums to be precise! Add in a mixture of fall favorites like Asters, Daisies, Oak Leaves, and Berries and you have a large scale image that's ideal for making a statement on big, bold cards! What's even better about this image is -- because it is digital -- you can downsize the image (who would really want to though!) or enlarge it to become an entire background! Or, maybe you want to just focus on a few of the flowers and leave the rest as delicate outlines? Goodness, we can't wait to see what fall-inspired creations you come up with using this bouquet of abundant beauty, illustrated by Marcella herself!

I happen to know that the ever-so-talented Nancy Sheads colored up this image and has a card to share, so please click on the link above and pay her a visit and look out, I know printers were busy this weekend when Marce shared this Instant Garden newbie -- so, let's just say, more to come!
