25 Years - WOW!

My favorite uncle and his wife just celebrated their 25th anniversary and are still happily married, WOW! So for making a card for them I thought that it deserved a card on both sides. Not sure what I'm talking about? Hopefully the pictures will...



This is the back, or could be the front...just depends on which you like better:


I used CDS to weld the numbers to the back of the card and then again for the decorative frame to another back and then adhered the two backs together.

If you choose to have the 25th side as the front and you are able to look around to the back, this is what it looks like:


My sentiment to them is on the other side of the above black frame.

Those of you that know me...I can't make a card without a matching envelop:


Although I have to admit the above statement is not entirely correct, I didn't make envies for the thank you cards in the below post. ;p

Mom & Dad's 38th Anniversary...& Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #17 & Rima's Blog Candy

It's my parents 38th anniversary next week and Taylor is having another fun challenge (Cupcake Challenge #17), one of these days I'll actually use a cupcake for one of these challenges as I have so many fun cupcake stamps, plus the most fun I've had was making the cupcake b-day card for my dad using the cupcake from the Celebrations Cricut Cart (which to my honor was chosen to be on Inspirational).

Also, after I made this card I found out that Rima is have an amazing Blog Candy give away for being a Cricut member for a year and having a whole lot of hits to her site (congrats Rima!), go check out her site!

So anyway, my parents favorite color is blue so this is the color theme I went with:
