60th Anniversary

 Hi Everyone, I've not been a good blogger, but here is something that I made in March for an old work colleague, she and her husband celebrated their 60th Anniversary. I had a hard time getting a good photo, dark days didn't help, but I hope you can see what I did.

I was looking around on the web for quick ideas and came across a card that I thought I could case. I did take the link, but it has decided to take a walk somewhere in my craft room, if I find it I will add it. Anyhow, I die cut the hearts and added silver embossed paper from a pad I have, punched some hearts, die cut the 60, cut a banner shape on which I silver embossed Happy Anniversary, then added some gems and a ribbon bow, attached it to the card. I computer generated an insert and it was done. Yep! nice and quick. Happy to say she liked it.

heart die - Sissix
number die - First Edition
punch - name is lost in time
stamp - magazine freebie
paper -  Papermania Modern Lustre
ribbon - stash

A Quick post today as I have lots going on, but at least I have blogged!I must try and keep up with posting more, I have done work, just not shown it, I'll try and get some things together and let you see them asap. Have a Great week everyone.

EDIT - I have had a few new followers, but can't for the life of me find your blogs, would you comment here, so I can follow you also please?

I don't blog as much as I once did either Faith. Life happens and we have to take what's in front of us as a priority, so I understand completely. There must be something in the water that brings longevity to folks in your area, because I don't think there are many people celebrating 60 years of marriage these days! What a milestone anniversary and a beautiful resulting card you made for them. It looks like Iris folded hearts and the addition of those gemstones makes it very festive and pretty! Nice job!
