So, this past weekend was my husband and my 5th wedding anniversary! 5 years married, 12 years together...lol, what can I say, he is my best friend!! :)

We went to T-town for dinner, a movie and to do some oh-so fun shopping! :)

But, before we left, we shared our gorgeous anniversary cake with our boys:

Of course, I was only able to get one photo of us at dinner, but it's still cute :)

Here is the yummy drink I had with my dinner (triple berry sangria):

Now, I didn't get any pictures from our day of shopping, but I thought I would share with you some of the stuff I got! :D

{Love ♥ Love} Anniversary layout

Hello and Hi! I have a layout I put together of my husband and me on our 2nd Anniversary. I used the current colors at CCG for this layout. Here is my page:

 

Here are the colors from CCG:

 

Here are some detail pics(I took alot, lol):

My title is the song title by John Michael Montgomery: I Love The Way You Love Me. This was my first attempt at paper rolling, and I think I did pretty good!! I also decided to stitch down my title letters. Thought it gave a good look to it. You can see my transparent flourishes coming out under the paper roll.

My very, very short amount of "journaling", more of just a detail of what the pics are, lol. Also some close-ups of some of the embellies.

Here are the roses he sent me on our Anniversary, So sweet! I added a flourish photo corner, and stitched down with opposite color thread.

Here is an angled view to show the dimension...

And another...

I got some great advice from some friends on this layout, and I think it turned out great because of their help!! So, thank you ladies(you know who you are!)!!

For this layout, I used:

• Bazzill Cardstock
• Crate Paper, Portrait Collection, patterned paper
• Echo Park, For The Record, patterned paper
• MME, Lost & Found, patterned paper
• The Paper Studio, transparency
• SpareParts by The Paper Studio, brads
• The Ribbon Boutique, ribbon
• tulle
• RicRak 
• flowers from a friend
• wooden letters, from Walmart
• acrylic paint
• Cricut Cartridges: Heritage, Lyrical Letters

Hope you all enjoyed my post today, and thanks for your kind words!!

Anniversary card, CCG challenge 197 and Sassy Lil Card Sketches

Hello again!! I thought I would drop in really quick and add this card I did using the current challenge at CCG:

And Sassy Lil Card Sketches June 21st sketch:

Here is my card:

 

I made this for my husband for our anniversary tomorrow! It will be 4 years, and I couldn't be any happier! I tried out my EZ engraver for the tag. I took a wooden tag that I have had for ages, and engraved the word Love. I then took acrylic paint, and layered red, pink and black, then wiped it off with a tissue. I put faux stitching around the tag, then wiped it off to give a very aged look. I hand stitched my ribbon to give it the pleating look, and also stamped the flower on cream paper with pink and red ink. Loved the little heart button, so I had to throw it on there, too! 

For this card, I used:

• MME Simply Delightful paper
• scrap ribbon
• Bag O Buttons by The Paper Studio
• acrylic paint
• Anna Griffin stamp
• Stampin Up ink pads
• wooden tag (unknown)

Hope you all enjoy!!
Much Love,
Jenny♥
