Happy Together

Seven years ago today my hubby and I exchanged "I Do's". I can hardly believe how quickly the time has gone!



With three young kids now, there's no chance of a romantic weekend getaway anytime soon, so dinner out this evening will have to do. ;)

Of course I had to stamp a card for the occasion but after dinner clean up and getting the kids to bed, it was late by the time I actually got into my craft room last night.  Once again, masculine cards don't come easily for me, so this card probably took a lot longer than it should have to create as well. I'm mostly happy with it.


Nothing too extravagant with this one.  I knew I wanted to use the double bike image from the set Pedaling Past from the current summer mini catalogue.  This set is only available until the end of August.  Because the image is smaller, I stamped it on one of the tags I'd cut with my Matchbox bigz xl die.  I finished it off with a little Chocolate Chip satin ribbon (instead of Chocolate Chip, we now carry Early Espresso satin ribbon) and two small hearts punched from our Cherry Cobbler cardstock with my Heart to Heart Extra-Large punch. :)

It didn't quite turn out the way I'd hoped, but my hubby was happy with it, so that's all that matters. ;)
