Happy Anniversary!!

We have not one, but TWO sets of friends who are celebrating their anniversary today...both are celebrating year number 4! And, amazingly enough...both are expecting babies next year! LOL The first card is heading off to the Jackson's.

One of the really cool things about this one is that the paper is already distressed! I didn't have to do anything to it! I used two different ones from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey collection. I paired it with PTI Ripe Avocado paper, ribbon and buttons. I used Vintage Labels, too, which is quickly becoming one of my go-to sets!

I didn't put a sentiment on the outside of this one, which is rare for me. But, I wanted to let the beauty of the card shine through!

The next card is for the Palmer's. I was inspired by the bedding they've picked out for their little girl (Lexi's newest bff..ha!) coming in February. It's two shades of purple and brown circles. So cute!

I had Vintage Labels already out, so I stamped some Dark Chocolate onto Rustic Cream Cardstock and then stamped Happy Anniversary from Mega Mixed Messages and hand cut it out. Instead of using VersaMark, I went ahead and used Plum Pudding for the Polka Dot Basics background. And then added a strip of Dark Chocolate Bitty Dots ribbon.

I did pop the sentiment up on dimensionals so it wasn't a completely flat card and gave it a bit of character.

Hope you all have a fabulous anniversary and here's to many happy years!!!! We love you guys! :)

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Happy 4th Anniversary to my awesome and wonderful husband!! I can't believe that it's been 4 years already. We've been through a lot together and more than some people want to have in 10 years, even 20. B is totally my soul mate. It's amazing how much we think alike and how we know exactly what the other is thinking. I can't tell you how many times we've been able to call "jinx" on each other! (yes, we're childish, no I don't care!)

He is the best husband. My heart melts every time I see him and melts even more when he's playing with Lexi and being a daddy. He's my rock. He knows when something is wrong. He knows exactly what to do to get me out of a funk. He knows how to make me laugh until I cry. He takes care of me and our daughter.

He has the wildest dreams. Anyone who knows him knows that. But that's what I love about him. He's able to dream. He reaches far past the stars and doesn't care what anyone else thinks about the dream. I love you B. Thank you for being the man of my dreams!

We're off tonight to celebrate sans child. It's been a long time since we've had a nice dinner out just the two of us! :) (special thanks to steph and erick for the babysitting!!!)
