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.

Colorful Seasons – Life is a Beautiful Thing

As the 4th of July is fast approaching I thought this card reminded us all
that Life is a Beautiful Thing!!!
This card was another display sample from our Team Meeting earlier this month.
I apologize, I can’t remember who did this display and the fun fancy lattice edge.

Colorful Seasons, Summer, Life is BeautifulTo me this card is perfect those all those summer picnics, trips to the beach or my favorite sitting around the campfire.  The designer combined new products and colors with a fun must have Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Squiggles Thinlits.
