Happy Anniversary!!

Hello crafters!  I usually miss Friends with Flair at Unity, because I post before Friday.  I have A LOT of Unity stamps and use them quite often.

Anyway, around 930pm I was getting ready for bed and my son's girlfriend came walking in asking if I had an Anniversary card (this was last weekend).  Her parents 25th Wedding Anniversary was the next day.  Looking through my stash, I had none.  So... she picked out the images she wanted and the colors.  I had until 3 the next day to get a card made.  Which is fast for me, I kinda work slow nowadays because I'm a bit of a perfectionist sometimes.


She had to have the cute image Milk & Cookies on the front.   She loved the sentiment that came with the image, so it was used for the front of the card. I colored the image with my colored pencils.  As you can see, black and silver were the colors for this Anniversary.


She chose a sheer silver ribbon.  I added a heart brad with a little charm, which says "Love".  You can see in the above picture, I added a few more heart brads.


Here's the inside.  She thought these little monsters were adorable.  They are from the stamp set Nicest Place to Be.  The Happy Anniversary sentiment is from Stamping Up.

They loved it SO much, they framed it.  It's the simple things....

thanks for looking and reading :o)

paper used: the Paper Studio - black & white, Hot Off the Press - HammeredSilver

What a super cute card. Is it easier or more difficult when the images are picked for you? Nice job, under some time pressure!

You did a fantastic job, since you were rushed. Both the inside and outside are simply too cute.

Awesome Anniversary card! I adore the clean and simple design and the hint of texture in the one layer is perfect. Loving the cut on the corners too. Thank you for sharing with us at 4 Crafty Chicks Anything Goes Challenge
