Happy 50th Anniversary!

My parents are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary today. I can't believe it. I guess because when I was little people who celebrated their 50th were very, very old with gray hair. Not my parents. They look and act so young! 


About a month ago, my father asked me to make a card for my Mom. I was flattered and more than happy to do it! I thought about it. And thought. And thought. And thought.

Finally it was 3 days before their Anniversary. WHAT?!! 
In my typical procrastination fashion I waited until the very last minute. I am talking glued the last pearl on the card at 4:45pm when I had to get it to the post office by 5. 

When will I ever learn!?!!


I gold embossed the rose on the envelope for a finishing touch.

Stamps: Wedded Bliss by Flourishes, Birthday Builder by Amuse
Ink: Versamark
Paper: PTI, misc patterned paper that I had hoarded
Misc: Gold Embossing Powder, PTI Dies




This next card I made 2 weeks ago when I was playing with vellum. 

I decided to send it to my parents.




HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD!!!

WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DEARLY!!!

XOXOXOXO

  2. Your cards are both gorgeous. How sweet that your dad asked you to make the card for your mom. 50 years is a real accomplishment these days. Congratulations to them. I really love the card you made for your parents. I used the exact same sentiment for the card I gave to my parents this June (53 years, and counting)
