45th Anniversary Card

Today's card was created for a couple who are celebrating their 45th Anniversary today. They have been neighbors my entire life and I have known them as long as I can remember. My mom rode the school bus with the husband and his siblings. She graduated with one of his brothers; the other brother was the son-in-law of my sitter before I started school. Small towns. :-)

The card front is created with a card base and papers from Create and Craft. The embossing folder is from Tattered Lace (also purchased at Create and Craft). The die cut is from the Cricut® cartridge Stretch your Imagination.

I could not find a stamp with a style that I though worked well with the card front so I searched Cricut® Design Space for some inspiration. I thought this sentiment from Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments was perfect.

When the cards were opened I was thrilled to hear "I will have to keep this card." I think that is what we all strive for when we create for others.
