6 Months

It doesn't seem like it has been six months since we said 'I Do' but in a little less than a week it will be. I don't know what I would do without my incredible husband~he is such an amazing man of God! Enough of my bragging on him, here is the card I made for our six month anniversary.
The sentiment is a demo from Creative Scrapbooking Kit of the Month website. The image, of course, is from Digi's With Attitude! One of the reasons I chose to do a sappy card is because of this image. I knew I wanted to use it and finally found the perfect occasion! I'm not sure where the mittens are from, couldn't find it in my list. A close up of the image:
I made the boy darker, which is super easy to do with chalk, just add another layer! The sketch is my modified version of Let's Capture Our Memories (I rotated and flipped some of the elements). You can see some of the glitz I added below. Clear glittery embossing powder on the cuff of the mittens and the glitter on the paper. The blue on the mittens is also embossing powder. The snowflakes were won on Amanda's blog, or was it her facebook page? I embossed the edges to give them a little extra snowy look :) All the paper is Amanda Blu.

Anniversary

I made this card for my aunt and uncle in-law, or are in-laws just for immediate family they may just be considered my husband's aunt and uncle? I'm not sure (still new to what constitutes as an in law). Anyways... this card was made for a very special couple. So special, in fact, that my husband's uncle officiated our wedding. They have been married 25 years, what a blessing! I just wish I could tie bows better (I think this was try #3).





There are a lot of challenges that this card happens to fit, so here they are:
PollyCraft's Fit for a Princess-because every bride is a princess on her day
One Stop Craft Challenge's Patterns
Flutterby-wings and fav color (mine is purple-shown here, and red)
Sentimental Sundays-Switch it up-I have never done a fold open card before
Stampin' Royalty-Create your own background paper-the background behind the couple was created with chalk
Crafty Creations-Wedding/Anniversary
Digital Tuesday-2 Companies, one card-the once upon a time is from DigiSparkle and the couple is from Sliekje
Anything Goes-Folds

Whew! I forgot to mention that DigiSparkle provided the once upon a time sentiment and Sliekje provided the couple, the other sentiments I typed and printed

Anniversary Card

entered in challenge #54
My parents' anniversary is coming up, so last night I decided to make them a card. This is what came out. The blue and gray was their wedding colors. My mom gave me the ribbon she found leftover from her wedding a couple years ago (I believe she used the blue on her flowers and the gray on the bridesmaids fans). The lace is to represent my mom's gown (it was covered in lace). The image was a freebie from Pollycraft. It is on the left sidebar, if you are looking for it.
