First, today is Mike and my 32nd anniversary! Where did that time go?
Like many couples just starting their lives together, Mike and I did not have a great deal of money. Since we both were older when we married we paid for our wedding. I bought my dress in Columbia, TN, where we got married and paid $49 for it. We splurged on the decorations and our reception; the flowers, candles, catering, etc. cost $75. At that time, for us, that was a great deal of money! Our wedding bands cost less than $40 total at Service Merchandise, and we still wear them. Obviously, from the above photo, we didn't have a professional photographer. We are thankful for friends and family who took photos that day. What about that Farrah hair?!
Well, now it is 32 years later. We have weather many storms, raised a fine son, and have a comfortable home. God has been good to us. We are blessed and thankful!
Today is also my last Thursday posting for Your Next Stamp. My term on the YNS Design Team as a Starlet ends Feb. 28. Today's card is for the Etsy Inspired Challenge sponsored by Your Next Stamp. The Etsy store being featured for inspiration is Claylicious.
Here is the Claylicious creation I chose for my inspiration. The details of this wall plaque can be found HERE.
Here is my card inspired by the Claylicious wall plaque.
The hearts were stamped using Your Next Stamp's Mini Greetings. This is a great set; there are 20 small sentiments and 19 small images that coordinate. The set is perfect for making tags, gift cards, and for decorating larger cards and scrapbook pages. The sentiment on the card is computer generated, and I colored the hearts with Copic markers (R32, 35, 37). The designer paper is an older one (Twitterpated) by SEI.
Since it is Thursday I also have a post for iCopic.com. Using The Greeting Farm image from Miss Anya Collection I created a bookmark. These slender Anya images are perfect for bookmarks.
I colored the image with Copic markers and sewed the edge of the image piece to 2 of the layers to make the bookmark more durable.
