Anniversary Card

Good Morning,

 Yesterday was our 42nd Anniversary!  What is even more incredible than that is that my husband and I have been together for 45 years!  I met Matt when I was 16 and he was 18.  We instantly became best friends.  My dad asked me to wait until I turned 20 to get married so two weeks after I turned 20 we got hitched!  We have been through so much together, we even had times when we "fell out of love".  We have had to go to couples therapy twice but we have hung in there. After 42 years I can't imagine life without him.  I know that I could go on living if he was gone but I also know I don't want to.  I love him so much. Here is the card I made for him.


I know this is my 2nd day of posting Mo's Digital Pencil, but this digital stamp was just perfect!  One thing about having a happy marriage....it makes your butt get wide, LOL and mine is!

 The sentiment stamp is a clear stamp set from Docerela Stamps, the dies are from Spellbinders, the paper is Basic Gray, the lace is from my stash and the brads are from Carta Bella "Autumn"

 Here is the inside of the card:


The clear sentiment stamp I used is probably one of the very first stamp sets that I bought.  I can't remember where it came from, I think it is about 15 years old!

 I am entering this card into the following challenges:

 DLART September Linky Challenge - ATG
The Cutie Pie Challenge - #139 Celebrations
Southern Girls Challenge - Tic, Tac, Toe - Die Cut, Stamp, Blue

Thank you so much for stopping by, I appreciate all of your comments and would love to hear about that special someone in your life.  How did you meet?  How long have you been together?

Hugs

    What a great testimony to your vows, Chriss, that you worked through the hard times. We made it to 43 years and 2 days before my dear hubby passed.. it was/is hard, but we do carry one, some days just one foot in front of the other.
    Love your fabulous card - that image is adorable and so beautifully coloured.
    Blessings
