It's A Royal Celebration

Hello crafters and welcome to Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #4. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. All the buzz this week is about the highly anticipated Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate. So this week, we are joining in on the fun and creating projects to celebrate the big day. Here are the sneak peeks:


I get so excited every week when the designers send me their sneak peek photos, and just can't wait to see them completed. It is so hard for me not to e-mail them and say...I can't wait you have to send them to me NOW. They always look so fabulous that I can only imagine what they look like completed. It is so hard for me not to e-mail them and say...I can't wait you have to send them to me NOW.  Please be sure to hop on over to each of the designers blogs, by clicking on their names, to see each of their completed projects.

Tammy from The Purple Muse
Congrats Tammy! Please e-mail me your address so I can get your Mom You Rock Stamp set out to you. I have had some e-mails asking about a Whimsical Wednesday Challenge winner badge, so I decided to have Madeline design one. I have the code for that badge so I can e-mail that to all winners to display on their side bars of their blog...if they wish.

This week your challenge is to create a project to celebrate the Royal Wedding. When I e-mailed the team I told them to think crowns, wedding dress, prince, and princesses. There is no must haves this week, you are free to do whatever you would like with this challenge.
