Fresh Anniversary

4/7/2014

Oo, lots of angles in this week's Freshly Made Sketch #130, hmm...
It suddenly occurred to me that with my anniversary coming this week, maybe I should get crackin' on a card for hubby! Yikes! Good thing I'm a card-maker, lol...
So, I've been thinking for a while about how this sentiment from Yippee-Skippee would make a good anniversary card, now's the time to test that! Add lots of color (just like our marriage!) and Houston, we have lift-off! On to the lobster! Yum!

Fresh Lucky 13!

You know, sometimes I wonder how my family feels about our life events being immortalized on my little card blog - I don't wonder for too long, just sometimes!
That said, Freshly Made Sketches #80 was the perfect vehicle for pulling together an idea that's been stewing around in my head for a while about what I would do for my 13th wedding anniversary, giggle. You guys missed our James Bond themed #7, that even included the book License To Grill, but it was a good one! This year, I heard that we might stop and shoot some pool after our celebration dinner, so that was pretty much that!
I used a bunch of retired items to pull this one off, BUT, I did try out the talking tag inside - so easy! Love you, babe! Luckiest 13 ever!

Can you imagine being married for 50 years??? I have to say - there are definitely days that I can't {wink wink}, but I can always dream of it!
These favors were commissioned by a friend of mine for their parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary - wowee! I'm in awe! I made 32 of these in a mix of fall colors, using papers provided by them to coordinate with the table decor at a snazzy family banquet planned for the celebration - so nice to be part of it! The saying is a Polish one (as is the family) - meant to convey good wishes, good luck and long life, perfect for a 50th Anniversary!
There's a traditional song for it that you can hear here, as I understand it, you can't make the toast without someone breaking into the song! Congratulations! (And Sto Lat!)

Lovely Little Anniversary

So when our 2012 Catalog & Idea book came out, one of the first "suites" that caught my eye was the Lovely Little Labels stamp set, with the accompanying punch pack. Why, oh why, am I so addicted to all the fussy little pieces to color and play with? I see many tiny banners in my future with this one!
Imagine my excitement, then, when I saw Merry Minis in the Holiday catalog! (Yes, I had to have those, too...)
I felt like I really needed to start cranking those tiny guys up, so I decided to break in Lovely Little Labels by CASE-ing The Merry Minis card from the holiday catalog, snicker! The little punches made everything a snap!

Another Anniversary - wow!

Can't believe another anniversary has rolled around for me and hubby - time sure flies! I CAS-ed this "love" card from Oopsa-Daisy-Designs, and liked it so much, I decided to do a "hell-o" version for my Duet friend! I love having someone to send cards to every week!

Anyway, love love LOVE this Love Letters DSP, it's amazingly versatile - I think the Very Vanilla, Basic Black and Riding Hood Red are so dramatic... AND, I used my Billboard Strip for the Big Shot that came with the starter set for that for like the second time EVER! Maybe I'll try some other alphabets eventually!

I might still change out the h-e-l-l letters on the second card for stamped Broadsheet letters that I cut out. Can't decide...
