A PAIR of Anniversary Cards

I’m finding it more difficult than usual to get back into the usual routines after being away for so long. There are a lot of big projects that need to be tackled, as well as many smaller ones, and it all seems a bit overwhelming. I did take time this week to make an anniversary card that needed to go in the mail. I had planned to do some posts while we were away, but the internet was often very slow, and frankly I didn’t spend much time on the computer, so those never happened. That means I have a pair of cards to share.

Our last night in Canada was our 42nd wedding anniversary. I had made my card for Tracy before we left and gave it to him over dinner at The Cattle Baron, a restaurant recommended to us by a delightful young man sitting with Tracy on the flight to Calgary. We had excellent Alberta steaks at a quite reasonable price. 

All the supplies for this card came from the Simon Says May Card Kit. 

It’s not often that I make a card with no stamping on it, but everything I needed was in the kit.

The card I created this week is for my daughter’s in-laws who will be celebrating their anniversary next week with Sarah, Adam, and Caleb who fly to Washington tomorrow.

Both the confetti stamp and the “Celebrate” diecut are from a new Papertrey Ink set called “Good Times.” The card is a premade one from Memory Box that’s been in my stash for years. The gold cardstock is from Paper Source, and the enamel dots from Simple Stories. 

It was good to get back to crafting, and I have several more cards to make that should be in the mail shortly. I’m linking these up to Helena’s lovely weekly meme, Pairs.
