Memories...September 2012 Brings Their 8th Anniversary!

Happy Days!  This card was chosen as a

SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS FAVORITE OF

WEEK ENDING - AUGUST 19, 2012

Wow!  It is absolutely difficult to believe this is my daughter's 8th anniversary  (and her husband, too)...LOL!  She was such a beautiful bride, making new memories for September 11th!!  It is good to have this date represent something good and wonderful and not just a memory of planes colliding into the Twin Towers in New York!  For their anniversary, I traditionally purchase a dinner gift card, but as they have just moved to West Virginia, I'll have to do some research on what restaurants are available in their little town!  (I'll figure something out of that I'm sure.)   In the meantime, I hope they enjoyed the card I made just for them, which uses a digi image with Copic coloring and a little stencil sponge daubing.

Happy Anniversary Don & Michele!

A Sister-in-law Birthday Following Mine!

Another of my sister-in-laws celebrates her birthday in early, early September, but this one is special...her birthday is the day after mine!!  I made her this little card using my new Stampin' Up flower stamp set with lots of glitter added to match my glittery paper.   A card by Liz Thayer at a shoebox crop I attended inspired me.  I adapted a similar fold idea, but went with a deeper 3/4-fold, added a background edge to the flower stamp, used the Dotted Scallop ribbon border on the flower and the sentiment added to the front.  I finished off the card with inside decorations and a personalized verse.


Happy Birthday June. . .hope your had a delightful day and you enjoyed your card made just for you!
