I love you

Yes, it's true - I love YOU, my readers! Seriously though today's card is for my HUBBY!! Saturday the 30th, we celebrate 11 years of marriage! This year we are actually going to celebrate our anniversary since grandma & papa have agreed to keep Abby for the weekend!! WHOOHOOO!! This time last year we were packing all of our belongings into a Penske truck and moving from Memphis to Lawrence. Boy, was that a LONG and HOT weekend!! We moved everything into my parents house and then 2 months later did it all again to move into our house in Topeka. I was hoping we'd get to take Abby and go to Disney World to celebrate our anniversary (that's where our honeymoon was) but no go. We will do that though - one year!

For my CAC Yahoo Group, I was given a sketch to use. I'm pretty sure this is a PageMaps sketch. When I saw the flowers I thought that would be neat to do with hearts. I hate it when I vision something and it doesn't turn out quite like I'd hope.

My card:

Lucky for me my camera sucks or you'd see how bad the red heart clashes with the red cardstock. I used these die cut stickers from Making Memories that have adhesive on both sides. The red heart is flocked. The silver hearts have glitter on them. I was originally going to go with red glitter but realized that I'd then have 3 different color reds and knew that was not good! There was no stamping done on this card {{gasp}} - the I love you is a rub-on. Here's a close up:

I added black dots around the glittered hearts. I REALLY wanted to sew the stems with my sewing machine but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I NEED to do that soon - I'll get better with practice so I should start now!

So it's not the best card I've ever made but you know what - hubby is going to LOVE it!! I have no doubt and he'll be extra impressed that I stitched the stems and that the heart is fuzzy!! Yes, after 11 years I kind of know him :o) He'll treasure it, thank me and put it in his special drawer that holds all the cards, letters & gifts I've ever given him. It's ALL good!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
