D2D Weekly Challenge & Wedding Countdown

The countdown is on around here.  My baby girl's getting married in a week so my regular crafting has had to take a back seat to wedding preps.  I made myself come in from work today and make this card for the weekly challenge at Designed to Delight because I don't want to miss out on this week's freebie.  I'm hoping with the holidays just around the corner, they're going to start giving away a lot of holiday digis, plus the fact that their images are so cute I just don't want to miss any of them.  

I should note that I only used a small portion of this cute set they gave away last week called Falloween Cat.  I had a different idea and plan in mind and well, it just didn't happen.  What I had in my head didn't quite work out on the craft table.  Don't you hate it when that happens?!  Because I had to "back up and punt" I ended up also using some digis from Sassy Studio Designs.  I've just learned about them thru the Free Digital Stamps site.  
Speaking of Digis...I have not abandoned my Cricut.  It's just that when I discovered digis a few months ago I kinda went crazy with them and put my BUG on hold.  I've recently gotten 7 new Cricut Carts that haven't been touched other than to take them out of the box, so after the wedding I will link them to my Gypsy and get busy exploring and using them. 
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend & do me a favor...please pray for no rain next weekend on Hilton Head Island (Saturday the 17th.)  The long range forecast is HORRIBLE and this is SUPPOSED to be a sunset beach wedding and outdoor reception.  It's not looking too good for that but IT IS early........

I almost forgot to add that I'm also going to do something with this card that I don't do too often and enter it in another challenge- Emma's My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge.  It meets the criteria so why not?  
Wishing you all sunshine and smiles, 
love and laughter!

    I love your card Tami! It's so cute. I need to try digi's more often. We bought my daughter's wedding dress when she was down here last month preparing for her wedding next year. :)

My son is loving it there...i feel like I have a piece of Gators with him going to there too. They are really looking good...tomorrow's game should be a good one favoring the Gator. I hope to get to a game this year...I know my kid will~brat. Smiles...always,Tammy
