Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated 20 years of knowing each other. Yup. Twenty years. :) To commemorate the occasion (in addition to surprising him with a lovely dinner out, without kids), I ordered a canvas print of a black and white picture of the two of us, found a cute little wooden sign that says "Love is all you need" and made this card:
To make it, I took five 3x3" squares of kraft cardstock. On two of them, I added tiny pictures representing the passage of time (pics of the two of us over the past 20 years)...on the other three, I created the title "our 20 year love story." I attached them all to a thick ribbon (with extra sticky double sided tape) so they accordion-ed like a little card...like so:
Because the canvas print and wooden sign were rather monochromatic, I stuck with that scheme in making the card, mixing and matching lovely Ormolu products (right down to the letters punched out of the negative package tags):
So, how many years have you known that special person in your life?
