My friends celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary yesterday and I made a card for them. I chose a red, white and blue theme because July just reminds me of being patriotic for some reason...probably because the husband of this partnership used wood from his grandfather's barn to create a home for my husband's burial flag. The top pic was when they made the frame about 5 or 6 years ago. The woman on the left and the man in the middle is the celebrating couple. The man on the left and the woman on the right are my Godson's parents. The second pic is my deceased son holding what is very meaningful to all of us.
They had such a fun time and it was a day of healing for all of them over the loss of my husband/father of my son. We met those friends through a Corvette trip and the anniversary couple through a Disney World trip.But wait, I'm supposed to be showing you my card...sorry (not sorry) about the side trip! I made a star for every 10 years.
Ingredients I used are listed in the chart at the end of my post. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you'll come by tomorrow for our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold blog hop. You'll be in for a treat, no doubt.
