Mo's Challenge #129



Your Choice!

For Mo's Challenge this week our hostess, Iulia, has given us the choice between following a great sketch or doing whatever catches our fancy. I thought the sketch was great, so that's what inspired my card this week.


Our 46th anniversary is coming up in May, so I made a card for my husband. This couple could be us! He's tall and thin, and I'm.....well....not! We'll leave it at that! LOL!
After our very first date, I told my mother that I was going to marry him. She asked me if he knew it yet, and I told her, "No, but he will!"
The poor guy never had a chance! A little over a year later we were married in a little brown church not far from where we live now. He's the best thing that ever happened to me, and I think he likes me a little, too!


I love his sparkling blue eyes!

 ***********************************
Here's the sketch, if you choose to use it for inspiration.




Tools: Copics, Cuttlebug with Sizzix embossing  folder, Mounting tape, Tacky Tape, Distressing tool, SU! Creamy Caramel ink pad

We just made 26 so I've got a ways to go to hit your mark Elaine. :-) Congrats a little early. The personal meaning makes your card so much more special. Bet your guy will love it and those baby blues will twinkle a bit too. :-) Hugs and Happy Easter!
