Happy Anniversary

Today is our 44th anniversary, and my card says it all.

Wonderful husband, best friend, fabulous traveling companion, amazing dad and grandfather–Tracy is the best! 

As soon as I saw this amazing “Mountain Majesty” cover plate released this month at Papertrey Ink, and the gorgeous card Nicole Heady created, I knew this had to be my anniversary card for Tracy. He loves the mountains, and has hiked to the top of most of the 49 High Peaks in the Adirondacks. My card is a shameless copy of Nicole’s with just one change, but it was too perfect to mess with, so I hope she takes it for what it is—a tribute to her wonderful design skills. Also my thanks to a friend, who loaned me both stamp sets. 

The sentiment is from “Quoted: The Most.” There are three interchangeable sentiments that can be used. Instead of a heart Nicole used as an embellishment, I embossed the interchangeable sentiment on a red banner which I popped up with dimensional tape. I did add the glitter to the mountains, although it was rarely snowing when Tracy was hiking. 

We’re off to Toronto tomorrow to celebrate. It’s been years since we’ve been there. We have tickets to the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum. The exhibit closes on Sunday so we’re getting there at the last moment. (In fact, there’s no more mention of that exhibit on the website. I’d be nervous, but we got a lovely email yesterday reminding us we have tickets for the exhibit tomorrow.) We have dinner reservations at Eastside Social, and will spend the night before heading off to the McMichael Museum on Sunday morning before we head home. We’ve never been there, and I’m looking forward to exploring the exhibits as well as the grounds.
