Happy Anniversary

I have a couple of anniversary cards that I don’t think I’ve shared here. The first one I made the same day I made the get well card I posted earlier this week. I like the versatility of these stamps, and it’s easy to make a couple of  cards at once when all the supplies are out.

The first few times I used the “Framed” stamps I had some difficulty with them, but I finally seem to be able to get a clear impression the first time. The little pot is from “Everyday Button Bits.”

Here’s another anniversary card with a totally different feel. This was for our dear friends who’ve been married now for 63 years!

More beautiful papers from the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden Collection, and a sentiment stamp from “Round and Round” by Papertrey Ink. I used some nested heart dies to cut out a burlap and then a felt heart, added a button, and a stick pin from Maya Road (I think.) I have all my stick pins in a pretty glass jar so I’m not always sure which manufacturer to credit!

We’re off tomorrow to the west coast for a few days. I’m really looking forward to seeing Sarah and Adam’s new home as well as their new surroundings. We’ll be back in California before we return for Adam’s ordination service, and have an extra day at the end to spend in Berekley and San Francisco before we return. I’m planning to post a few times while we’re away, but it’s always a bit unpredictable!
