I remember the very first wedding I attended a few years back... I nearly cried when I saw the bride walked in and the groom smiling brightly.... I thought I saw bright stars surrounding the ballroom for a few seconds... that was when I realised it was tears of joy!:)




And then I recalled my very own big day.... the blessings from everyone was overwhelming and heartwarming... So I decided to start on an elegant yet warm card.....Shower your blessings to a dear friend today!:)
