~Happy Anniversary, Dear~
May 27th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
Happy Tuesday, Ya’ll….
Today’s color challenge (Chocolate chip, very vanilla, sage shadow) could not have come at a more perfect time. Our anniversary is in 2 days and I needed a card for dear hubby.
Since my DH is a hunter/fisherman, I decided to pull out my trusty Noble Deer set. In fact, it was my DH who ordered this set! I went with pretty simple on this as he’s a simple kinda guy. I did put that big old bow on there, but I think he’s secure enough in his manhood to take that! LOL
Yup, they said it wouldn’t last, but on Thursday, we will be celebrating 26 years of marriage. We met on January 11, 1980 at my front door. He came to my house to find his girlfriend, my best friend. The funny part is, I couldn’t stand him when I met him. I thought he was cocky and arrogant (he still is!). But, over time, I’ve grown to love his self-confidence and he puts up with me and all my quirkiness! A match made in heaven, i do believe.
Here’s my deets:
Stamps: Noble Deer (SU!); sentiment is handwritten
Colors: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Chocolate Chip, Copics
Accessories: Brads, ribbon, dimensionals, ticket corner punch, circle punches, designer label punch, stipple brush
TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
Beautiful card!! Happy anniversary!! What a great story of you met!! LOL!!
Nice card—love this color combo, hope I can do it today!

Love the play on words! This is a great card Holly, and I know your DH will love it. Hope you’ll both enjoy a wonderful anniversary! 🙂
Now aren’t you glad your DH bought himself a stamp set – LOL 🙂 Hope his recent hunting trip was successful. Love your play on words too.
Congrats on 26 years! Wow, you must have married young. I tell my DH that it took me a long time to find someone who could handle me (insert evil grin) and then we both laughed and said if we had met 10 years earlier we would have destroyed each other. God’s timing is always perfect — even though the waiting part was far from easy! Hope you get to celebrate in a special way — maybe he can cook up some of his recent hunting prizes for you 🙂
Your card is beautiful, I am sure your hubby will love it! Happy Anniversary.
GREAT card and Happy Anniversary!!! Thanks for sharing the story of how you met too….funny how things work out, huh? 🙂
