Anniversary

Hello! This weekend is my parents 55th wedding anniversary, and I wanted to do something a little special for them so I set up a small surprise celebration at their home tomorrow. Things have been stressful for them lately, and I wanted them to have a little "happy" for a change. Anyway I made a cake and this card to give to them. All the cuts are from Sweethearts, and the borders are a recollections punch. Did a little inking and doodlin', added some pops, and the inside sentiment was computer generated. I didn't put the years on the front because there is speculation as to what the number is! My Father seems to think he has been married longer than he actually has, just like every other man on the planet,LOL! Hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking!

Happy Fourth of July

Hi Ya'll! Just wanted to wish everyone Happy 4th of July, and to share this card with you. The inspiration for this card came from an old t-shirt that I have that I wear every year to our blowout on the Alabama River.Alot of us get together with our boats and park at a sandbar and celebrate the 4th. Everyone brings a different dish, and we pig out, and swim, and just have a good time. Sometimes we all ride downriver to watch the annual fireworks show from the water. Anyway, I decided to make this card before the ole' t-shirt gives it up. I used Country Life for the posts, Sweethearts for the towel, Life's A Beach for the bikini and trunks, and an MS punch for the grass. The embossing was done with a Sizzix texture plate, and I added some bakers twine for the clothesline. The inside says "Proud to be an American". Thanks for taking a peek, and I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Fourth of July!
