Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad Louiseize

Welcome to Saturday

Today we are celebrating my husbands parents sixtieth wedding anniversary, yes I said sixty. I can't imaging how much things have changed over the last sixty years for them. I often wonder if JC and I will every see twenty-five years let alone sixty? Why if we were to celebrate our sixtieth wedding anniversary that would be in the year 2063? Yikes we only have 53 more years to go.

Anyway the family is having a gathering at JC's brothers place and include in the celebration are my parents too, which is wonderful. The following cards are for them one from my parents and one from JC and I.

Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad Louiseize!

Stamped using Hostess stamp set Simply Soft from
Stampin' Ups New 2011-12 Cataloge 

Close-up showing the pin created using Basic Pearls from Stampin' Up and
a basic pearl straight pin like ones you would use for florals.

For me it is always about the details, tiny basic pearls added to
the flower plus a little rock and roll of colour

This card was made using Creative Elements, Hostess Something to Celebrate stamp sets. I love the swirly background from Creative elements and the that I created using silver and the tag, a few jewels and it is lovely!



Shown a close-up of the tag stamped with Anniversary from Something to Celebrate!


Have a great weekend!
