Potato Head Anniversary

Yesterday was our 19th Wedding Anniversary!   Where did the time go?  It seems like I have been saying that alot lately!  Anyway, my husband is the romantic in out relationship.  Don't get me wrong- I love it!  But I am more of a whimsical type of person.   Have you ever seen those pictures of people who have been married a long time who start to look like each other?  I was thinking about that when I saw Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head  on Pinterest.  They were done in felt but they inspired me to do my anniversary card!

The other issue was that we had agreed that this year we wouldn't do anything special for our anniversary.  Next year is the big 2-0 and I wanted go all out then.  So no cards, no fancy dinners,etc.  My husband agreed.  What does he do the morning of our anniversary?  He comes in with a CARD!!  I didn't even have one started!!  So I wouldn't open his until I had mine made.  I was searching Pinterest for ideas and stumbled upon Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.... They really do make me laugh!  My hubby laughed too!   Mr. Potato Head even has a mole by his nose like my hubby!!!  Anyway, Happy 19th Tom!

Sister's Anniversary

I purchased Valieta's beautiful Well- Dressed  Card instructions! I think it makes it an adorable card for a wedding or an anniversary.  Today is the 6th anniversary of my twin sister, Connie, to her sweet husband Russ.   Now, for some reason, I thought it was her 5th anniversary... oops.  I had to fix it on my card when I discovered my error.  Do you think they will notice?

Here is the link to Valita's instructions-

Anniversary Swans!

I recently purchased Valita's Swan Tutorial!  This is my first attempt but I really love the look of the Swans!  They were so easy to make! I had to wait until I received Stampin Up's Build a Blossom punch but it was worth the wait!  The sentiment is also from Stampin Up.  The sentiment is encircled by JustRite's stamp that I embossed in silver.  I think this is going to be one of my favorite stamp sets.  The quality of the stamps are fabulous!  I used Spellbinder's Labels Twenty to cut it out!   Architectural Sizzlets in silver are at the corners.  I meant to put the Swans at the bottom of the card but I ending up leaving too much space.  So I used some ribbon to fill in the gap. There is so much silver on this card- I think it would be great for a 10th Anniversary card. Isn't that the silver anniversary?   Valita's instructions are fabulous!  I don't know where you come up with your ideas, Valita, but they are just great!! You can purchase her Swan Tutorial here-
