Happy 40th Anniversary!

Over the weekend my parents celebrated 40 fantastic years of marriage!  Hard to believe!  I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this very simple card turned out.  It actually turned out better than I pictured it.  It was quick and easy to do - it doesn't get better than that!  Not too much to explain on this one as it's pretty straight forward. 

Supplies (all CTMH):
Stamp set: Find Your Style
Paper:  Verandah paper pack (discontinued), Passages paper pack, Colonial White cs, Twilight cs
Ribbon:  Cocoa grosgrain (bulk)
Embellishments:  Filigree Charms, Pewter Mini Medley, Mocha Opaques Adhesive Gems
Ink:  Cocoa Exclusives Ink, Chocolate Distressing Ink

BOO!

It's not very often that I make a Halloween card because to be honest I don't "give out" Halloween cards!  But I felt inspired to make something spooky and I am so delighted how this card turned out!!    I used a multitude of bits and pieces to make up this card.  It feels good to use up some scraps and play with a variety of stamps I don't use often.  I just love how this card turned out!

Thanks for looking!

More hidden treasure...

Okay, so since I am still waiting on my order of new goodies to arrive I figured I'd post another older card that I did.  This is another hidden gem within the files of my very full Pictures folder.  I loved this card.  It was one of my favourites.  I made it for my parent's anniversary last October.  It used some scraps I had left over from the Aspen WOTG, some bling from a past Connections Club set and the Childhood Portrait and Card Commentary stamp sets.  I even decorated up the homemade envelope!  I was feeling particularily crafty that day!  This was one of those cards that actually turned out better in real life than it did in my head.  Usually it's the other way around and my vision far exceeds the finished product!! 

(sorry the colour is off a bit...they are all Chocolate brown but for some reason these two look very warm)
