Special Anniversary

Just a quick post today.  Thought I'd show you a special card I was asked to make for a couple who have been married for 10 years.  They are going to St Lucia to celebrate!!!  Lucky people eh?

I decided to make a concertina box card and matching box for them.  You can look at the instructions here.  I must admit I like doing these as they give that visual "wow" and everyone I've done one for loves them.  The main wording in the box was sourced from the internet and I thought was lovely and would do for both weddings and anniversaries - here it is if you would like to use it:

When the one whose hand you're holding
Is the one who holds your heart
When the one whose eyes you gaze into
Gives your hopes and dreams their start,
When the one you think of first and last
Is the one who holds you tight,
And the things you plan together
Make the whole world seem just right,
When the one whom you believe in
puts their faith and trust in you,
You've found the one and only love
You'll share your whole life through.
 


The wording on the left hand side was given to me by the parents of the couple.  There was very nearly a disaster at the end as they had given me the wrong date!!!!    Eeeeekkkkk!!!!!  Anyway I was able to print out a new date, cut it with my SU label punch and add it over the top of the old date - in actual fact I think serendipity was working again as I think it was "meant"!!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Please remember to pop in tomorrow for our newest challenge over at Addicted to CAS.
