Happy Anniversary

This card is going to sister and The Runner to celebrate their 21st anniversary on December 23.  It's inspired by this card by Shari Carroll on the Simon Says Stamp blog.  Isn't the Mama Elephant happy die adorable? 

One more anniversary card

Someone special will be getting this card next week.  I hope the happy couple enjoys it!

Happy Anniversary

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law celebrated their anniversary last week. Here's what the mailman delivered to them!

Happy Anniversary ... and It's Mojo Monday!

Once again, it's time for Mojo Monday!  This week it's circle or square.  I'm still new at this, so a square it is for me.  This is the sketch

and my attempt (I decided after looking at the original card that it needed another butterfly to balance out the anniversary tag).

My friend is going to visit her son and daughter-in-law for a few days, and their anniversary is also coming up.  Sister sent me a picture of a card to attempt to recreate.  My "recreation" is the text and the flag; the "happy" is a free font from Kevin and Amanda and the "anniversary" is Century Gothic.

I used a white 5.25x5.25 white card base that I edged with Peacock Feathers Distressed Ink.  The paper is two-sided MME called Blue Waves.  I used a skinny ribbon to divide the two papers.  Finally, I edged the butterfly with the Peacock Feathers and then spritzed it with Tattered Angels Pearl Mist.

Last, but not least, happy 34th anniversary to my DH ... it's been a wonderful 34 years!  Love you!

It's Mojo Monday!

I've been lurking at Mojo Monday for a while, trying to get up the courage to enter.  Actually, I did enter one a few weeks ago.

This week's design is awesome!

This card came together rather quickly.  I used my Cricut Expression 2 - Elegant Edges cartridge - to cut the scallop on the left side.  The text was done on the computer in Photoshop.  The paper is from a delicious Recollections pack called Floral Foliage that I got last week at Michael's.  The narrow strip above the scallop is glittery as is the butterfly, which I cut out of some of the paper.  I used Tim Holtz's Distressed Ink (Broken China and Forest Moss) to smudge the edges of everything.  Finally, I added some bling to look like the butterfly's trail.

Now I have one card in my stash for when it's time to send an anniversary card!
