Welcome to the very first S2G Customer Blog Hop sponsored by Shirley's2Girls! If you've just happened upon my blog, you need to GO BACK and start from the beginning at the S2G Challenge Blog. If you joined me here from Debbie's blog, then you're in the right place!!
I had sooo much fun creating this project. I inked up two stamps that I've never had the chance 
to use before. Isn't that Bride (SG 151) gorgeous?! I love all the fun and whimsical details in her dress and veil. I created the tag card using a template that I found on Nichole Heady's blog. Because I wanted the bride to be the focal image, I placed the sentiment on the inside of the card. Wouldn't this make a sweet card to go with a bridal shower gift? I was singing "Goin' to the Chapel" the whole time I was making this project! LOL
I wanted to have a little sumpin' sumpin' to go with the card, so I created a sweet wedding or shower favor. I picked up the take out box at Michael's, and carried the same band from the card onto the favor box. I found some aqua, cream and grey M & M's at a local candy store - I love that you can find just about any color of M & M's for occasions just like this!! There's one more detail that I wanted to bring to your attention. See that darling little wedding cake charm hanging from the ribbon? Well that's another Shirley's 2 
Girls stamp called Wedding Cake (SG 152). I stamped the image in Jet Black Stazon onto transluscent Shrinky Dink, cut it out, punched a hole at the top, and shrank it using my embossing heat gun. How flippin' cute is that?!! Shrinky Dink is DA BOMB!! I love finding fun and unique ways to utilize it in my projects.How about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a free stamp from Shirley’s2Girls. The fun part is . . . we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! We will announce the winner on Monday in the SNR S2G Forum.
BONUS BLOG CANDY: I thought I'd create a little MORE fun around here, so I've added some of my own blog candy to the mix. In addition to leaving a comment here to win the Shirley's 2 Girls FREE stamp, I'd like you to tell me which of the Shirley's 2 Girls stamps is your favorite. You can see them all HERE. I'll choose a winner for this additional blog candy via random.org and will post the winner on Monday here on my blog. Good luck!! REMEMBER - YOU MUST COMMENT ON ALL BLOG HOP BLOGS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR MY BLOG CANDY, AS WELL AS THE S2G BLOG CANDY. Thanks so much for stopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Anne's blog.

How elegant. So pretty. Thanks for the intro to the group & enjoy the sun while we enjoy the rain.
OMGosh! This project is just GORGEOUS! Love all the details! One of my favorite S2G stamps is the watering can with the sentiment "A good garden always has weeds."
Your bride is just gorgeous! the M&M favors are the perfect touch. I love all my S2G stamps because they fit my quirky side, but I think my favorite is the "We Won't Go Cats". I LOVE that stamp.
Gorgeous card! I think I like them all.
Fabulous blog candy -- How very generous of ABC Toys and Crafts!
Love your card and favor box! Your work always rocks!
BEAUTIFUL! I Love your card!
My Favorite S2G's stamp is All of them! I only have one so far ...
Oh, wow! This is just stunning, never would have thought to use this stamp and make such an elegant card and box with it, you are awesome!
My favourite stam pset is Happy Bark-day, which works for men's cards, kids cards, all the tricky ones. But if I can have another favourite it's the all-over Peace design, use that a lot
wow this is great, I dont have a fav yet but love the shoe digi just now coming out how cute!
OMG gorgeous! You do amazing things with your stamps. The coloring and color combos rock! My favorite S2G's stamp is anything Mazie. Love bug, Bff, it doesn't matter...I love Mazie! However...your card is so gorgeous that I might have to change my mind on my fav stamp.
Love your card, great wedding image. My fav image i think might be the little dancing penguin.
Pinky
ps...I just love Baguette's Accessory. That stamp is just too precious.
I love what you did with you image. Very creative. Beautiful done. My favorite image so far is- If the shoe' fits... buy another one! I posted my card on a site yesterday and it got 9 hits within 1 hour and everyone just loved my card. So I put the web site down so if they want to buy it they can go here and buy it. So I hope you sell several of them.
Hugs
