My project is a bit of a tongue in cheek long time family thing. To make a short story shorter, one day when my son was napping I made a stuffed skunk and when he woke up, he grabbed it and named him, "Mr. Skunk"  and they were BFF's until David grew up. All I could think of while I was cutting the black and white skunk was the song, "Puttin' on the Ritz" so............I decided to go with pictures of my son and I putting each other's flowers on for his US wedding. I found a ceramic skunk ring bearer, if you look close you can see it behind the glass.

    What a fun story behind the photos, and those paper pieced skunks couldn't be cuter. I had to look closely, but yes...there's that little skunk ring holder!

    Those skunks just crack me up and love how you added them to a wedding layout! I don't have a Cricut, but looks like you gave those little critters so much personality!

    What a cute idea since I love inside jokes in families. My son recently was married and they had an outdoor wedding with her dog as the ring bearer. I will have to keep that mind when I scrap their wedding because the animals are special to them just like that skunk is to your son.
