Soulmates Anniversary Card

Every year for our anniversary I try to make Chris a card.  Last year I made three because I just couldn’t decide which one I liked best.  This year though, he’s only getting one.

I found a Hobby Lobby about twenty minutes away from me and was so excited to go and look around.  I found some great stamps and scrapbook paper that I knew would be perfect for the card I wanted to make Chris.  Let’s just say that I am a Hobby Lobby lover now. Goodbye Joann’s and Michael’s, it was nice knowing you.

This card was incredibly easy to make.  I bought the stamps and paper from Hobby Lobby but already had the ink and ribbon on hand.  I’m always a little weary of combining different patterns because I don’t want the finished product to look too busy, but I’m incredibly happy that I took a chance with this card.  Every pattern compliments each other and in a happy coincidence they also match our wedding colors!

The front of the card really reminds me of Springtime and is very vibrant in color.  Because of that, I wanted the inside to be simple.  When I saw the stamp with the birds and the stamp with the saying on it, I knew it was just what I was looking for to put on the inside of the card.

I really hope Chris likes it.  And I hope he enjoys all the candy in his basket as well.  I may have to eat one or two of his Cadbury eggs while he’s not looking, those are my favorites!
