50th Anniversary Celebration...

Recently some very close friends of ours celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. What a milestone in today's society! We had plans to attend their festive weekend until my hubby decided to move the date of his amputation up. The big celebration was just two weeks after his surgery and of course we had to cancel our plans to attend. We were very bummed about this, but we are going to get together for our own celebration after the children leave. Since they live a three hour drive away, we have to plan carefully. We're hoping that hubby will be on his new leg by that time and that we'll be able to enjoy a weekend away to celebrate - albeit late!

I saw the most delightful card done by Pat Frank some months ago using the LOTV Wedding Couple and I asked her if she would stamp me an image so that I could use it for a special card. She very graciously did and I've had the paper and image sitting off to the side for the last month, with no time to pull it together. I was so inspired by her card that I actually CASE'd the front! Thanks so much Pat for always inspiring me and getting my juices flowing!!! Your are one talented gal!!

Now I've had some spare time (at last) to get some projects started and brought to completion. So without further ado here is what I came up with....












Card recipe:

Copics:
E0000,000,00, chalk for cheeks; B60; C00,01,03; Hair - E25, Y26, E50, E13, 17, 18, 19; R81, 83, 85; G24, 20, Spica Pink

Waco Pearl pen for the hearts, distress inks, flowers and corners from Wild Orchid Crafts, rhinestones from Michaels, Glittery Gold Tulle from my stash.
