Once upon a time, I stumbled upon a little shape that struck my fancy. It was this curvy frame:

Then, I found it again in these adorable invitations...
And then while browsing Martha Stewart templates, I saw it again in the left edge of this picture...
It seemed as though that little shape was following me around, and I was quite smitten. I decided that the whimsical frame needed to be included in my wedding day decor, and I had grand plans for using it with the candy buffet, the guestbook-quilt setup, and the place card display.
There was just one problem...that cute little frame doesn't exist in Clipart, or in Google Image searches. I found digital scrapbooking images, but nothing that I could really use.
Cute, but it doesn't help me much...

So far I've used it for the candy buffet and for the quilt guestbook baskets (which I will blog about soon, promise!).

Love that shape! I even asked Mrs. Cupcake on Twitter where she got it for her programs!
