The challenge was to use Diamonds Shapes on your card.

The main colours in my card are Pretty in Pink and Neenah White. The image is coloured with Copics, the Layers sponged with Pink Pirouette and dotted with white gel Pen. Ribbon is from the Dollar bin at the "M" store! The sentiment is from the congrats set, which happens to be one in the same as the one that I am giving away for MY BLOG CANDY from yesterday's post. Don't forget to leave a comment there, while you are here!!!!

  30. Love it - I have never really had any luck...mostly bad - but I guess it kind of changed when my hubbie walked into my life!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I have often been lucky in my life from finding a great partner, to having good health, and a good job.

    My favourite story of being lucky though, is one of my sister's good fortune. When she was about 8 and I was about 10 we were with my parents shopping for furniture at the Brick. She walked by a display and on the ground was a $50.00 bill. she picked it up, and with my dad went to the customer service desk to turn it in. they thanked her for her honesty, and said that it would be impossible to find the real owner, so she could keep it.

    ReplyDelete
  32. What a cute card. Maybe this is my lucky day to win a goodie bag. Thanks for this fabulous eye candy and a chance at some candy.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Love your card ...makes me want to get married again hehehe :)

    I had good luck when I was a kid at a fair with the number 13. I so badly wanted a bike and they were raffling off a ten speed bike *dream come true* for me at the time. You had to place a quarter on the numbered counter and he spun a wheel (wow dating myself lol). I hit on the number 13, and from that day that number has bought me nothing but LUCK :) Wow I tell very few people that story when they ask me why I like 13 so much *blushes*

  34. thanks for the sharing the adoreable card. My dd is getting married this summer.May have to add that stamp to my collection.

    ReplyDelete
  35. My favorite "lucky" story is also kind of a "what goes around comes around" story. It takes place over the course of three days. One morning I stopped to get gas and coffee before work. I was chit chatting with the clerk. As I walked to my car I realized she gave me $3 extra in change I went back and told her and returned the $3. She thanked me and assured me that for my honesty I would be rewarded "10 fold". Not "lucky" at that point but I felt good about doing the right thing.

    The following night I was gonna meet hubby at the local "watering hole" for a drinking after work. While waiting for him I bought $10 in pull tabs and won $30.(Remember the '10 fold' comment) When the bartender brought me my winning money, he accidentally gave me three $20s, instead of three $10s. I told him of his error and gave him the extra money. He smiled and told me my honesty would be rewarded.

    The following day I got home from work, there was a message on my answering machine. I won $300, from a raffle ticket I had bought for a local charity event.

    What goes around comes around!!

    Love the card!!!

  41. Love the diamond background. I have couple of times when good luck came my way. Once I found $80 laying in the middle of an empty parking lot. I was working late, again, and was the last to leave.

    I also won $1000 on a radio contest. We needed it for bills badly so it was great timing.

  55. My luckiest moment happened nearly 4 years ago when we found out that after 12 years and HUGE amounts of money and effort we were going to be parents. It's been one heck of a roller coaster ever since, but I wouldn't trade that day, or the ones afterwards for anything in the world.

  64. Vicki this is just adorable!!! I love this sweet little wedding card! Riley and Sophie are colored so beautifully and I adore the argyle embossing folder! Adds so much intrest! I have to say though that the ribbon is so funky and fun!! Really drew in my eye!!

    I guess I am going to get sappy with my answer but I have to say some the the best luck I have ever had was finding stamping. I feel like I now have something I enjoy and makes me feel good. But the best part is the wonderful people I have met that I would have never been able to meet before!

  87. This is totally the Riley that started it all for me!

    Anyway, I always seem to have good luck at least a couple times a year but my favourite bit of good luck was when I turned 18 and won a trip for two to Las Vegas! Now what am I going to do in Las Vegas at 18? Nothing, so I sent my parents on their first vacation together and my mothers first plane ride! Needless to say they have been back almost every year since!

  90. to be honest luck is how you look at the world...really my uncle named me bad luck schlep rock (from the flinstones) because when the family would play cards whoever i was standing by would start to lose and when i left their luck changed...i had the nickname for quite sometime but i have grown into it... my luck has really been the fact of being blessed with wonderful family!

  91. Oh, this is so sweet! Love the pinks and all the textures you used! :^)

  92. Hey Vicki ~ Great Blog Hop for Hanna Stamps :)
    I for one don't take much notice of Friday The 13th, as it's just another day in my books.

    Personally, I can't brag too much about "Good Luck" when it comes to winning money, contests, lotteries or bingo, etc. My "Luck" is a bit different .... when I was 29, my husband and I were told we couldn't have a baby the ~natural~ way, so we started trying invetro fertalization and so on. It was never meant to be I try to tell myself. But at the age of 32 my dearest friend had her first baby, a boy named Liam. My husband and I were asked to be Godparents and now almost 13 years later, it's the BEST most WONDERFUL, LOVING thing that could have happened to us, especially since we never suceeded in having our own children.
    We have a strong bond with Liam that I wouldn't change for the world. We go to all his school concerts and plays, and all his soccer and hockey tournaments, and every week we have a "family dinner" where we just catch-up on the week (if we haven't seen eachother) and then watch a video. Even in the Summer, we try and co-ordinate our vacations so we can spend part of them together at our cottages and again, enjoy eachother's company.

    Luck I am truely not blessed in, except for the above comment. But Love, well that is obviously another story altogether :)

  95. Hmmm good luck. I'd say when I found 20 bucks in my jeans pocket. I honestly didn't know it was there and there was a pair of shoes I wanted so badly. So the bf made up the difference after I told him about my good fortune!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Love your wedding card! I recently won the mystery hostess drawing my SU rep had. I think that was good luck.

  104. Awww this is a cute cute card! Very pretty coloring as always!! My good luck story for friday the 13th is that my cousin was born on friday the 13th, during a lunar eclipse and a really bad storm. We all thought that he was going to turn out to be some devilish child, but he proved us all wrong! Amazingly he is the sweetest little 9 year old!!

    ReplyDelete
  108. Cute card! I guess the luckiest I've ever felt is when I got a permanent full time job just a bout the same time that I bought a new house. No more worries about how I was going to make the house payment.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Awww, Riley is getting married. Such a cute card, Vicki!! I really love that heart ribbon that you used. . .it's so pretty and matches so nicely with the theme of your card. Awesome job coloring Riley. . .what's Riley's girlfriend's name?

    Hmmm. . .good luck story. I don't think this is a lucky story but I'll tell it anyway. . .the first time I ever went to Vegas. . .well, we vacationed in Chicago first before heading to Vegas. I was working at a hospital at that time and well. . .we were in this crazy crowded mall in Chicago, smack dab in the city. . I was just about to step on the escalator and I looked up and saw one of the doctors that work on my unit. Keep in my mind, I was living in Hawaii at this time and working at a hospital in Hawaii.

    Therefore, to see a one of doctors that worked on my unit in a crowded mall in Chicago was really SHOCKING! I mean, it's not like Chicago is nearby to Hawaii and especially, of all places a crowded mall. Okay. . what does this have to do with Vegas? Well, after Chicago we stopped by Vegas. . I really thought the coincidence with bumping into the doctor meant I was going to win the jackpot. To end the story. . .I lost all my money but I still think bumping into the doctor in Chicago is a memorable coincidence. Okay, not a lucky story but I like telling it!! LOL

  114. Awesome card Vicki! So cute and I LOVE the pink!
    Since you've showcased a wedding card, my chosen good luck story is my husband! He was assigned a summer internship in my hometown and needed a place to rent for the summer. As "luck" would have it I had job-shadowed a local real estate agent who knew my Dad had a small attached apartment for rent. The rest is history as they say...and that was 15 years ago this summer. :)

    One of my luckiest days, and the world's luckiest days, was the day my dear mother was born... which happened to be on a Friday the 13th!

    I also have a knack for coming across $20 bills on sidewalks, in stores and even on the floor inside a bank! That's pretty good luck in my mind!
