Happy 47th Anniversary

It's hard to believe, but it's true - early next week it will be our 47th Wedding Anniversary!  And if you count the few years before that, when we were 'going together', it has been over a 50-year partnership!  This weekend we will be celebrating in the city for a couple of days - enjoying the sights, a movie, some good food, and just absorbing the vibe of our favourite city - Melbourne.  I'm thinking we should plan something special for our 50th - perhaps our family can come together for that occasion?  Hopefully, that can happen - we'll put our thinking caps on in the meantime.  But for now, we are feeling very blessed to be able to share this milestone together this weekend, and will probably reminisce over those many years, and all the wonderful memories we have of our time together, our precious family and the joy we have known.  I do have a card to share of course lol! - this is for both of us.  My DH has written the same words to me each and every year, and they always finish with Love Always!  Can't argue with that sentiment, can I?

The circle burst is by Memory Box and the Love script is a Cheery Lyn die.  I'm sure he'll like our card!

    I arrived home from holiday to read your lovely comment on my blog. This die is just awesome isn't it. (Prim Poppies is another of my favourites too) I love the layering and the sophisticated simplicity of this card. Happy anniversary!

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours! To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
