This week, my dear DH and I celebrated 41 years of marriage. Hard to believe so much time has passed since we met in our high school library. As with all marriages, there has been laughter and heartache, good times and bad. Looking back over the years, we have decided we've learned much. One of the major things we've learned is that our marriage is better when we take "me" out of it and replace it with "we".
This gorgeous card was made my DH. He's become quite the cardmaker...actually, it's quite frustrating because he just goes into my room, chooses his paper, asks me where the ribbon and trims are, boots me out and in 30 minutes or less, produces something wonderful. It takes me literally hours sometimes just to think of something! He used a textured Bazzill paper, Martha Stewart punch, simple paper doilies (3 layered together), some silk flowers I had found at Michael's in the floral dept. on clearance last year (and never used) and a brad from the Target $1 spot. He layered a sheer dotted ribbon over a wider solid. It's what's on the inside that I will store in my heart. Hallmark can't compete.
