The calendar tells us that today is the day for love…as it is Valentines Day – but today is a super special day for my in-laws, as today they celebrate 60 years of marriage! Wow – stop and think about that… 60 years together – is that a true testament of love or what! They have planned a special day enjoying each others company. In today's crazy times there are not many times that you hear of people being married for 60 years! Health has been against them over the past several years but the love and commitment they have is an amazing story to witness. Gram and Pap – have a special day together and congratulations…we love you!
The focal point of this cards stems from the Labels Framelits, it coordinates perfectly wit the stamp set I used – Memorable Moments and honestly without the help of the Stamp-a-ma-jig it would have been next to impossible to line up the numbers and sentiment! I fought and fought at first vowing that I would never used this tool….and now – it is my dear friend…..makes lining up thing sooooo easy!
I have had this stamp set for a while but have never used it so as I was "surfing" around for ideas I found that a fellow PAL, Margaret Moody, used it in a way that screamed out to me to be inspired for my final result! The PALS are a wonderful group of Demonstrators and I love the endless networking of ideas! If you join SU with me…you too can be a PAL – Mary Fish, our upline does an amazing job in being truly the ultimate leader!
Because this is such a special day for my in-laws I really wanted to make a special card. After cutting out my framelits I thought…..I rarely use the piercing tool…..so out it came and I pierced all around the outside frame and personally – I think it makes the card!
I used the leaves from the new Framelits, Secret Garden, to give a balance of softness to the sides! One great tip – use the 2 way glue pen to place the leaves….it makes it super easy! I thought the card still needed something so I punched out little flowers from the Boho Blossoms Punch and popped a pearl in the middle…..too cute! Of course, a pearl had to go right in the middle!
Enjoy this special day and Happy Valentines Day to all! Try to not only have this day be a special day of love, but each and everyday filled with love, joy, health and happiness! Until tomorrow…..
