Anniversary cards

My sister had asked me to make her another 50th Anniversary card.  I failed getting a card done in time for her.  The cards were not going well for me (Nothing new...smile) and I was feeling ill in between (nothing serious...just got out of sorts for a bit)  You know I'm not feeling that great when I don't even feel like making a card!  smile.

I came up with five different card ideas and these are two of them...still need to try and finish the other three.  I didn't put the number 50 on the cards like I originally planned to do, so I left them blank for now, so maybe I can use them for something else.

My top card was made using two Spellbinder dies...Fancy Tags Two, and Filigree Delight.  I also used Gold embossing powder, added a ribbon, and felt flowers made by Jolee's.

My second card, I tried to make it look like a bridal fan, My daughter had carried one in her wedding instead of a bridal bouquet.  I used a large oval scalloped die from Spellbinders, and a die from Heartfelt Creations, Layered Elegant Swirl HCD716.

Anniversary/Wedding cards

Click on pics to enlarge

I made these two cards which I think could work for either Wedding/or Anniversary cards!  My daughter and son-in-law have an Anniversary coming up, and I'm trying to figure out a card for them.  I've made several and, so far, I'm not sure which one I'm going to use.

The first card is a pyramid card (the image was made up years ago...so I'm not sure where I found it. For the background I used a Stampin' Up Embossing folder (Textured Impressions Frames Tulips)Added a bow (made with bow easy)  and some line peel offs around the image.

Second card the Image came from   http://www.jakheath-designs.blogspot.com/

Added some die cut paper lace, a ribbon, and a charm.

I needed a Wedding card...

I needed to make a wedding card...so I made this 3d one.  It didn't photograph very well with the white on white..
Today was a good day to make cards.  The snow on the trees looked pretty outside my window this morning, but I was glad I didn't have to go outside in it.  I sat at my table making Christmas cards watching the snow come down outside.  It did put me more into a Christmas mood.

Our anniversary...

I had this card on my blog before but it's a favorite image of mine...because I felt it could of been me at the age of four and my Jim at the age of 5 because that's how old we were when we met for the first time...
My Wedding dress...

They were very pretty when my husband gave them to me

Honest!!! smile

Pretend they are dried flowers...

I was reading Lynn's blog where she posted about her 30Th Wedding Anniversary...

http://lynnslovelies.blogspot.com/2010/09/30-years.html
Lynn wrote a beautiful tribute to her husband...

and it dawned on me that our Wedding anniversary was last week and I

never posted about it or showed the beautiful roses that my husband

bought for me...(of course they were PINK) I took a photo right before

I had to get rid of them...I should have remembered to take a photo

when he first gave them to me...but things have been so busy lately...

(like everyone else these days I am sure...)

this year made me a bit sentimental so I went looking for my wedding

dress that I made...and decided to show a picture of it...(and NO I cannot fit in it anymore!)

It's not my original wedding dress because we eloped (as teenagers)

and I never had an official wedding dress or a wedding photo when we were married

I have to tell you, If anyone would ask me what the biggest regret in my life was

I would have to tell them...That I don't have a wedding photo/or any photos taken

us of that year we were married!

We renewed our wedding vows a few years later, and I made a dress for that day

and our friends at church gave a little party afterwards...nice surprise.

We also renewed our wedding vows on our 25Th anniversary, and on

Marriage Encounter. I guess you can say we our REALLY MARRIED!
