Anniversary Card

 I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  I realized that I didn't post the card that I made for my husband for our anniversary a few weeks ago.  Hard to believe that it has been 58 years! 


I had something else in mind, but this is how it turned out!  I used White CS for my base card and my first layer I cut out in Gold CS.  I layered another piece of white after I embossed it with Gina K's Tapestry Folder.  I used her Curved Floral Banner Die and laid it on top of my embossing folder.  For my oval, I used my spellbinder dies and popped it up for some height.  My sentiment was from SU's So In Love stamp set. 


My inside sentiment is a stamp from Heartfelt Creations.  Joe and I used this verse in our wedding ceremony.  I loved how his card came together.

My daughter and Jennifer went to Vermont for the holiday.  We were planning on going, but we were having car trouble and didn't want to chance it.  One of the places we always took the girls was to see the prayer rock in Bristol, Vermont.  I have a picture of Jeannie when she was little just like this one of Jennifer sitting on the rock.  


I didn't get to make any Thanksgiving cards, so I guess it is on to Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by,

Birthday Card for Jennifer

 For those who have been following me since my Granddaughter Jennifer was born, you know that I have been making her birthday cards using the number of  pumpkins with her age since she was born on Halloween.  It was easy in the beginning but is has been challenging as she is getting older.  This year she turned two numbers - 10!!!  So I decided to go to a larger size card! 


For my base card, I used Gina K's Master Layout #10 which was designed for the large slimline cards.  The card base was done in SU's Pumpkin Pie with the 1st layer in black.  I did some light stamp blending on white card stock and used SU's # of Years die for the 10 mounted on another die from the ML set.  I found these cute sticker pumpkins for her age.  


For the inside sentiment, I used SU's Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set. I was happy how the card turned out.  Here are some pictures from the family birthday party we had the weekend before Halloween.  I always make these lollipop ghosts on Halloween for the kids.  





As you can see, Jennifer is into ducks this year!!  LOL!!  She then came to our house on Halloween to celebrate and go Trick or Treat!  


She wanted her and JJ to have the same costume.  So she decided they should be Stitch!!



It was pretty cold here, but they did OK.  St least their costume was warm! I hope everyone had a  great Halloween.  Thanksgiving will be here before you know it.  Have a great week!
