Lim week 87 Love & marriage



Hi everyone, sun's shining but is it me or is it freezing!
We have had a lovely couple of days on an Asterdam Mini cruise we got back a few hours ago so Hubby has done some jobs and I have had a rest. 
I have managed a couple of Lim cards for Love and Marriage challenge!
I have used A5 cards
Marianne dies on the first one and stamp sentiment is from Circa Design.
I bought all of the stamps at Doncaster a while ago and this is their first ionking. I'm not sure who made the Bride & groom as they were a cheap set with no name on.
