Anniversary Roses and Wedding Wishes

Hello there, readers!  I hope it's warming up in your neck of the woods.  It was nice here this week, but today was quite chilly.  Hoping for some fair weather next week as I will have some time off and need to get some walking in before the 5K on Saturday.

I was able to a complete of cards using Imagine That's Wedding Day set today.  

On both, I have used Colorbok designer paper from the Rosewood pack.  I got this last Christmas from my son, and I thought it went well with the lovely wedding couple image.  I also used some papers from Imagine That's Romance Set 1 digi papers, Spellbinders ovals and lacy ovals, some roses and ribbon.

Doesn't this romantic couple make such a lovely card?!  I just love that Kris created this one for us.  :)

Hugs,

Spring is in the Air ... Weddings soon to follow!

We have Spring here today!! :)  My crocuses and mini daffodils are in bloom finally, and you all know once Spring is in the Air, weddings are sure to follow!

So ... I am getting ready with a few wedding cards this week created with Imagine That's Wedding Day set and Bella's Beauties digi papers - Romance Set 1, and Romance Set 2.  This set is perfect for weddings, anniversaries or just saying "I love you" or "Remember when ..." to your sweetheart! :)

NOTE:  My birthday is coming up next week, so stay tuned tomorrow for a chance to win a little Blog Candy from me to be won on my birthday!!  Yaaay!  I need to get a picture of it ready for you all to play along.

Happy Spring!! :)

Eighteen years and counting

Well, it has been 18 years and counting for my parent's anniversary.  Yes, he's my stepfather, but not too many people realize that.  I was often told how much I looked like him when I was younger (and still have similar tastes in some things and freckled feet like he does, wierd huh?).  Well, they definitely have come a long way, and this is one of my favorite photos of them.

So, I stressed for quite a while on Saturday about what stamp should I use for their card and would I have time to make one before I had to leave at 6 p.m. to go up to their farm for shearing day (that was Sunday, hence the alpaca photos below).  Then I looked through the SCS gallery and found some inspiration but still couldn' t decide on the perfect image to go along with it, so . . .

 I ended up not using an image at all.  I used the d'vine swirls folder for the Bermuda Bay cs and then Textile folder on the white piece.  I then sponged Taken with Teal on that piece to color it a little and make the embossing folder part show up.  Then I used my Flourishes sentiment stamp set for the Your Anniversary part cut out of a piece with one of the ribbon tag trio dies, and added some Prima ivory roses and half pearls.  My parents both liked it and the pretty poems I added to the inside (with thanks again to the authors of the Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Card).

he had on him.  They were all happy to be cooler! :)

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed the photos!
