That's Melissa, sil Jerry, Jessica, the groom Christopher, our daughter Cathy, and Elizabeth.
Such an amazing family, and when I can find more photos, I will do my best to share another one or two, but not overshare...unless you twist my arm, lol!
After our company left, so did my mojo. It took several days for me to find it hiding in with all the extra blankets and pillows, where it complained that it was just plain exhausted. Wuss.... So while DH was sleeping in this morning, I found a challenge or two and worked on some cards.
Here's the first which will head off to Less Is More, where the brief is a one-layer card using Winter Flora.
All the stamps are from WPlus9's Woodland Wreath set. It's an NBUS for me, but has been on the market for several years. The card looks crooked, but that's just my "amazing" photography skills (or lack thereof!).
I used the some of the same stamps for my second card which I made for the current Color Throwdown challenge. Pretty Fall colors...
I stamped the branches and berries twice in AE Fizz and ME Smoke inks. The sentiment is from Gina K. Another one layer card, which is a nice and easy way to get that sleepy mojo going again!
For now, I will close. I'd like to visit your blogs and leave a little love, if time and DH's demands permit. That's my goal for today. It's nice to be back and as always...

A gorgeous family photo Bev, your grandson looks so happy and I love the choice of colour for the bridesmaids.
I can't believe how different your cards look yet completed with the same set, I like both but I'm drawn to the Autumnal wreath its beautiful x
What a beautiful family Bev! Thank you so much for sharing!
I am so glad you got some crafting time... it's the best medicine for a weary soul!
I LOVE both versions of your pretty wreath ♥
Beautiful card and Congrats to your grandson and beautiful family, hugs, Lori m
You're back?? OH I'm so happy to hear that, Bev! Thanks for sharing this part of your wonderful family - it must have been a very happy day, as it shows in those beautiful smiles! OH and I'd bet there was plenty of happy dancing at the reception, too!!
Fabulous cards - and surely they meet the criteria perfectly.
I just made a bittersweet wreath for our front door! A faux one, but I'd bet money you couldn't tell!

wonderful family photos Bev, everyone looks so happy :)
Love your wreath cards CAS perfection.
What a lovely family. I'm twisting your arm for wedding photos! Your card is so pretty and it's nice you are back making cards.
Your cards are simply wonderful! And I love the family pic!! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at the Color Throwdown!
beautiful wreath you created. I love this simple and pretty card. thanks for linking up with CTD.
Glad hubby is on the mend and you found some time to play Bev! Your cards are both absolutely BEAUTIFUL in all their simplicity, but the real showstopper in this post is the lovely family photo...you ARE blessed my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I'm still here too...or trying to be. lol Glad DH is on the mend again. It's a vicious cycle with health I know. My fall back in the end of May kept me healing most of the summer. I love the wedding photo and of course we want to see more!!! I look even though I don't have the time to comment. It looks like it was a beautiful wedding! Ahhh, Mr. Mojo is hard on us all isn't he? He gets exhausted as well. But looks like your Mr. Mojo has rested as these are stunning cards Bevie! I love that wreath stamp set, it is gorgeous!! I love how versatile your wreath stamp set is. I love the Christmas one, but I adore the fall one too. Just beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
What a wonderful time the wedding must have been, thank you for sharing the photo. Your two cards are fabulous. I love seeing how different the two wreaths look just with color changes. Great way to stretch that stamp.
So glad John is doing better and you had a wonderful wedding to enjoy with family, Bev. It's been a while since I've used that wreath and you've done a beautiful job with it. I must pull mine out and see it I can do as well.
So happy to hear your hubby is on the mend and that you had a lovely time at the wedding, but you are right it's all very exhausting but so much fun too! Good luck with the mojo, it can run away sometimes lol. But I would never have known for the 2 fabulous cards you made, you rocked it!!
Lovely cards...lovely family!! So happy things worked out and your husband is on the mend! So happy you joined us at CTD!!
Congrats on the wedding, family is ALWAYS a blessing! Glad DH is on the mend, and that you can join us again -- and we will wait patiently while you recover as well! Two pretty cards, perfect in their CAS nature
It's wonderful to see all these loving comments above since I'm so late dropping by! You are missed when you don't post, my sweet friend. I hope this craftiness made your Mr. Mojo happy and he'll want to play more now. You two sure worked well together on these amazing winter and fall wreaths! I love the OLC QACASness of both designs! And thank you for sharing the photo! Nothing like a wedding to bring out brilliant smiles! I'm glad to hear that John is mending and I hope it continues apace!! Lots of love and hugs, Darnell
What a lovely photo! Hope you had a wonderful time. Love your cards! I hear you on the missing mojo. Life sometimes makes it tricky to get in the zone. Big hugs!
Two fabulous cards using that wreath stamp! I especially love the second version, that soft orange looks amazing! Thank you for joining us at Less Is More!
