50 Years

 Last week John and I celebrated our Golden wedding anniversary.  The card I made for him was quite simple, but it was perfect for our 50th.  I used Lawn Fawn's Radiant Heart Backdrop die and Stampin' Up's Little Numbers dies.  The little gold hearts were diecut using the hearts included with the Radiant Heart Backdrop set.  

I can still remember the day we were married.  It was a bright, sunny day and an unusually warm 65 degrees.  We spent a few days at the Abbey in Lake Delavan, Wisconsin planning on doing some of their winter activities.  Surprise!  It was even too warm to snowmobile on the Lake!  We wondered around town and enjoyed the unusually warm weather.  When we got back home, it got cold and snowy!  

Jen and Matt took us to Yoder's for lunch on the actual day.  It was a little chilly but to add to the celebration, two F-16s flew over!  I love that sound and to see our military jets.  Jen said, "Oh no, they lost the banners that were supposed to be on the jets in the flyover we arranged"!   Saturday we will have a celebration in Pigeon Forge.  

Excited and happy to write that I will be teaching a card class at The Farmhouse In The Valley on     March 9th!  We will create the cards in today's photo.  There will also be a cute favor, but I need the candy to make it!  The cards and colors make me happy!  Have a great week!

Valentine Dragon

My pick for this year's cutest Valentine stamp was from MFT Stamps in their Darling Dragons set.  I made a number of the pictured cards, all in shades of red and pink.   I colored the dragons with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Love Letters stamp set. The background on the white cardstock was sponged with Distress Ink and then the white cardstock was cut using Stampin' Up's Deckled Rectanglesdies.  The finishing touch was the little hearts added since there was so much open space.  These cards are very simple and very cute!  Have a great day.
