Card Of The Week – An Anniversary Collage Card!
Happy WOYWW to you, dear friends! Now that Independence Day has come and gone, it’s time to celebrate another memorable occasion – anniversaries! Who among us exchanged their wedding vows during the summer? Were you lucky enough to be married in a garden? By the sea? In the destination of your dreams?
Weddings are occasions for all to celebrate – but anniversaries are truly gifts for you and your spouse to unwrap and share as they bring you a lifetime of blessed memories!
I incorporated a combination of new and vintage elements into this shabby chic collage card, including:
- Hand-torn patterned paper from GCD Studios (Canta)
- New black doily from Martha Stewart
- New cream-colored flower (Distressed)
- Ribbon from Close To My Heart
- Paper-Pieced Roses from Jolee’s Boutique
Tip: Run delicate items like the roses through your Xyron for the best adhesion!
Now it’s your turn to share your creations with us! What have you created or acquired this week? Whether you’re showing off your desk, sharing your latest acquisitions, or spotlighting your latest creation – be sure to share it with our creative community at one of our weekly parties!
Have an inspiring week and thanks for stopping by! Oh, and did I mention I’m hosting a $50 Soufeel Jewelry Giveaway all month – be sure to check it out! The winner gets to choose what they like from their website – this is what I recently received from Soufeel!
