Our Anniversary

Today my hubby and I are celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary.  Where does the time go!!?? This is the card I made for him.

The blue card is pearlised and as the 45th Anniversary is Sapphire is was the perfect colour to use.  I made a frame using Sue Wilson 'Double Pierced Squares' dies.  The embossing was done with an Xcut 'Small Polka Hearts' e/f.  The decorative die cut in the middle is a die from the Xcut 'Heart Frames' set of dies.  The sentiment is computer generated.

I am joining in the following challenges:


As promised in my last post, a few photos taken in beautiful Florence this week.






 Michelangelo's 'David'.

    1. No, we didn't get to Uffici. Although we had four nights in Florence, there was so much to see and do, we couldn't do it all. Hope to go back sometime to visit more place there. xx

  14. This is the perfect sapphire colour card Liz and a beautiful card for your hubby. I love the XCut Heart Frame surrounded by the double stitched squares and the pretty small heart embossing looks great too, and the CG sentiment has a lovely font. Do you have a special font packagage you use or do you just use the ones the 'Word', but I always love how you make your own sentiments as they always look so professional. Wonderful photos of your trip to Florence, I saw them all on Facebook, you obviously had a brilliant time. It is somewhere I would love to go too and I must get hubby to take me on the next big anniversary if not before. x

    1. I just use the Word fonts, Pat. I seem to use more computer sentiments these days so I can get the text to say just what I want, at the size and colour I need. I think this particular one was called 'Harrington'. xx
