Wedding Bells with Free Pretty Things for You

Today is my first contributor post for Keren at Free Pretty Things for You.  So excited to be sharing with you creations featuring one of her vintage images.  And Keren is offering her image, Wedding Bells (pink and blue ribbon versions), free to you!

Keren's  blue and pink wedding bells are beautiful and do a fabulous job of wishing new (and couples who have been married a while) well.  

I just love this sweet little card and all it's layers.  It features the Blue Ribbon Wedding Bells image.  It also features items from the Make Mine Gold kit.   I think this would be a lovely way to write a personal note to a daughter who is getting married or perhaps, to a daughter-in-law to be.  

Kirby, one of my office team members at work, special ordered an anniversary card for his wife, Gail.  When Keren showed me the wedding bells image, I thought it would be perfect to create an anniversary card.  

Even though typically wedding bells would be used for a new couple, I think the pink version made a nice anniversary card for Kirby to give Gail.   I used a tiny gold tag to highlight their 37 years.

Would you like to have both wedding bell images for your creations?

Happy Anniversary

Oh, the week continues to be wonderful!  Highs in the 80s and I've actually had goosebumps going out to car in the mornings!  ( I hear 90s are coming up next week, but I'm not thinking about it!)  This must be the year for 50th wedding anniversaries.  I've had several people order cards for that this year.  My own mom and dad will be married 50 years come December 29th.  We're planning on giving them a wonderful celebration!  I have their wedding cake topper and a little swan that holds a rice bag.  I'm planning on using both of them as decorations.   This is one of the cards I did  - simple, but pretty. 

 I really like that border die - it's from Cheery Lynn.  Hope you're having a wonderful week, too!  It's almost weekend time - Friday's coming up tomorrow! 

Happy 49th!

My mom and dad celebrated their 49th Wedding Anniversary today!  They're almost to the big 5 - 0!  They both asked for cards, so here are the cards I made for them to give each other.

The lighting is a little strange...it was overcast when I took the pictures, so I had to use some lighting.  Never can get it quite right! 

 This one is for Daddy, since he loves to fish. 

 Funny though that it's a vintage ad for thread!  Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Happy New Year!

Hope you had a wonderful New Year's Eve. We went with Lisa and John to eat and see Sherlock Holmes. I thought Sherlock was really good. It was fun and different from previous actors' Sherlock Holmes portrayals. Although there is also a lot of similarities, just a little grittier. The above card was done for Kirby (who I work with) to give his wife. There first date was on New Year's Eve so they still give each other a little something. Isn't that sweet?

My mom and dad's 48th wedding anniversary was this week. Here are a couple of cards I did for them to give each other. This one was for Mom to give to Daddy. Made from lots of Jenni Bowlin, including her new calendar cards.

This one was for Daddy to give to Mom. I think the image is so sweet!

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! I love you!
