Sharing Sweet Thoughts with Strawberries

It’s summer time and that means strawberry picking time.
My daughter has become a champion strawberry picker.
Last summer I took her and both of her boys berry picking for the first time.
She loved it — she went back two more times to pick more.
This year her first trip she picked four pails of berries.
Then she went home and made a few batches of strawberry jam.
She makes it all healthy — no sugar — a little bit of honey for sweetener but it is very yummy!!!
This card makes me think of Katie.

Sharing Sweet Thoughts for Anniversary

Last Friday was my anniversary — 38 years married to my wonderful husband.
I realized that I never posted an anniversary card so better late than never, right!!!
This card uses the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set, Sharing Sweet Thoughts.
This is a fun stamp set with hearts, strawberries, butterflies and lady bugs and they are all adorable.
The hearts worked great to say Happy Anniversary.

Sharing Sweet Thoughts, Happy Anniversary, Everyday Jars Framelits
I wasn’t thinking when I designed the card, I probably should have done it in blue or red,
a little more appropriate for a man but I thought the hearts were pretty in the pink.

CARD DETAILS:
Stamp Set — Sharing Sweet Thoughts
Card Base — Pink Pirouette — 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ — score at 4 1/4″
Smoky Slate — 4″ x 5 1/4″
Whisper White — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
stamp Happy Anniversary and the hearts scattered as if falling from the jar — both with Black ink
color the hearts with Pink Pirouette and Smoky Slate Markers
Pink Pirouette — stamp jar and greeting inside with Black ink — cut out with Everyday Jars framelits
Smoky Slate — stamp jar lid with Smoky Slate ink — cut out with Everyday Jars framelits
Blushing Bride 1/4″ Double Stitched Ribbon — cut 2 pieces — one wraps around Whisper White layer — second one tuck under and tie in a knot

I like the simplicity of this card.
So Happy Anniversary to my husband, Tony!!!
