My hubby and I celebrate our anniversary this month and so do several of my friends. Our anniversary is on the same day as my grandparents' anniversary. They set a beautiful example for us of two who loved each other until death. Their love spilled over to the many other people in their lives.
I made several anniversay cards today for friends, focusing on the inside verse. I combined a sentiment from a past CTMH Stamp of the Month this year and one from Our Daily Bread Designs:

Love is not a matter of
counting the years, it's a matter of
making the years count!
May your love increase always!
Happy Anniversary!
I used bright colors and the sketch from the PDE Linky Party #132:
In my determination to USE IT UP (paper and embellishments), I enjoy combining some old with newer products. If you're a "collector" of older CTMH stamps, you may recognize the 2005 Elegant Floral on front. I hadn't used it for 11 years and wanted to experiment with an updated look. I traced over the center pistols and stamens with black and gold markers. Cricut Explore helped me make circles and hearts for the front and inside. The Bubblegum organdy ribbon is still around, too, after 11 years. No wonder CTMH quit selling 25 yards at a time! The Ocean textured cardstock is also some that they used to sell. My papers were leftovers and scraps, older and newer. I'd rather use it all up making something beautiful to give to friends than to just discard it. If we could do garage sales in our rural area I might think differently. What do you do?
Thank you for visiting! May God bless you with love that grows year after year! May you pass His love on to those around you!
