A year of blessing!

My parent's just celebrated their 32nd anniversary.
Congratulations Mom and Dad!
They had been camping and I was expecting to see them
for at least another week or so, but when Mom called
and asked if they could come over for a visit, I wasn't
about to say no! I had less than 24 hours to plan a
special little visit to celebrate such an incredible occasion.
With the help and culinary expertise of sweet farmer husband
we managed to get a delicious feast together and with the
little bit of time left I needed to make the most wonderful
card....Yipes!!! Out of all the people I make cards for, I
know my mom truly appreciates everything that goes
into them, and so I couldn't just throw something together.
Well, I was still putting the finishing touches on it when
they pulled into the driveway, but I did it!

I started by picking out some fall-ish colours.
My parent's wedding pictures are some of my favorites.
My mom had a bouquet of peachy-orange roses with
lots of fall foliage and stalks of wheat as accents. So
beautiful! I definitely had that in mind when picking
out these colours. At first I was going to run the Creamy
Caramel cardstock through an embossing folder, but
then instead stamped this Unity flourish with the matching
ink and I love the subtle detail it added. I broke out my
new SU! Lots of Tags sizzlit (love hostess benefits!) to
frame the sentiment and I love how it turned out.
The inside is stamped with the rest of the sentiment,
"...a year of blessing!". A simple but beautiful
anniversary card for my wonderful parents.
I hope every time they look at it, they are reminded of
the promises they made that fall and the love
and grace that has brought them here 32 years later!
God bless you, Mom and Dad!
