Morning friends! I hope you all had a wonderful start to your week. Kyler got dropped off at camp yesterday and I'm sure he is having a great time. The camp has a super hero theme and what boy doesn't like super heroes? It should be a fun week for him!On Sunday our dear friends Al and Nancy had their 50th wedding anniversary. What a feat it is to make it to 50 years now a days, huh? I truly look up to this wonderful couple. I know that they have their times, too, but they are what a Christian marriage looks like. I thank God for bringing them into our lives!
As I was making this card for them I wasn't thinking that it should really be gold as that is the "gift" for 50th anniversaries. Ends up I used Summer Sunrise (from PTI) anyway so it kinda looks goldish (right? just go with me on this one!). I can honestly say I have no idea where this paper is from but it had the "look" I was going for...homey and comforting. The bow turned out perfectly (thank you Kristina Werner for having a tutorial on tying bows) if I do say so myself.
Anyway, there you have it. I'm off to get things done today. Have a super day!

I bet Kyler is having a blast! How are you doing? That is a Beautiful card! (and I totally see gold!) :o)
This is a beautiful card. I love the paper you used. Great idea for this card. I think the summer sunrise is a great substitute for gold. I wouldn't have thought it was summer sunrise unless you said something. TFS!!!
Love the card! All the elements work so well together, great job! I'm sure your friends will just love it :) And that bow tutorial is great too! Yours turned out fab as well ;)
It's a gorgeous anniversary card!

Lovely card for such a lovely occasion as a 50th annniversary.
This is a lovely card!!!
I love everything about this card, Lorie! Especially the way the stripe on the flower lines up with the ribbon. I thought you had a sheer ribbon over the image, but then couldn't find it around the card. I was so confused. :) Yeah, I know, it doens't take much. hehehe.
Love this card! Your flower stamp is so unique and wonderful and I love the colors and dp. Beautiful card Lorie. :)
