Silver Wedding Anniversary

Hello again!  Did you miss me and my creations?  LOL  I know, sometimes I don't post for a long while and then all of a sudden I post a bunch of things all at once.  Well, as you can see, I have been busy these last few days.  And there is more to be made!  So I made this beautiful layered card for some childhood friends, who are now celebrating their 25th/Silver Wedding Anniversary.  That is so awesome.  Even though I have not seen them in a very long time, we still have great memories of all of our families growing up together, and the fun we had.  Anyways, her mom sent me a card asking me to send them a anniversary card.  So with the last of my beautiful silver metallic paper this is what I came up with.  I hope they enjoy it!  I think it didn't turn out to bad.

 

I used:

Wausau Royal Metallics cardstock

Martha Stewart Garden Trellis deep edge punch

Martha Stewart Cherish Hearts edge punch for the center punch "ribbon"

Grey Satin Ribbon

Ranger Liquid Pearls: Silver Pearls

Anniversary stamped sentiment from Hobby Lobby

Blue Birthday

Hello dear followers!  I have been slowly busy working on cards for friends and family.  This card happens to go to an amazing lady, my MIL!  I don't just have a great MIL, but an AMAZING MIL!  You see, her and my FIL, recently decided to become foster parents.  They were given 4 kids right off the bat.  What a handful they have been.  Not just including the "normal" kid stuff but the abuse these kids have had done to them.  It has been really hard to cope with.  You see, my MIL, is with these kids 24/7, my wonderful FIL works about 6 days a week, so he actually gets to get away for a little.  I am so proud of both of them.  They are such Godly examples of God's love and hero's in our eyes.  Either way, she just recently had her birthday, so of course, I had to make her a card with her favorite flowers.  Another simple yet elegant card for a very special lady.

I used:
White Cardstock
DCWV Bouquet De Fleur Stack for the purple
Darice Embossing folder: Large Petals
Daisy flower punches with tips trimmed off and edged in Blue ink
Grey Satin Ribbon
Stickles: Yellow
Stamped Sentiment from Hobby Lobby with Staz On Jet Black Ink

Thank you for taking a look at what I have been up to!

I hope you have a day filled with many blessings!

Purple Anniversary

HI!  I hope everyone is doing well.  Where has the summer gone already!  It is time for everyone to go back to school, including me, the teacher!  I usually have mixed feelings about going back.  Joy in seeing how much the kids have changed mentally and dread of not having freedom to just pick up and go whenever I want like I do during the summer months.  But I look forward to the challenge and the excitement of the new year.  I even get a bit teary eyed on the first day.  Anyways, I pray that God will keep everyone safe this year in their schools, including us that homeschool. 
Onto the card!  I made this one for my sister and her hubby and their anniversary.  I know my sister loves purple and flowers.  Keeping it simple and as flat as possible so that it could be mailed without extra postage.  That is really hard for me to do.  I love the layers and the many embellishments.  And sometimes making cards more simple is more elegant too.
