Anniversary

Hello Everyone

I am so sorry I haven't been around much, I don't really know what has happened this last two weeks, I have had a mountain of cards to make that I didn't think I would make in time, but I did thank goodness I do seem to work better when I am under pressure which is good I suppose.

I thought I would share with you the card I made for Rob for our 35th Wedding Anniversary last week.
He loves Humphrey so I had to do a Humphrey didn't I, and he loved it.
I used my Cd to print off the backing papers, and decoupage that I got from Crafters Companion.
I cut out a doily on my Silhouette to go around the image it's called Moroccan hearts and I heat embossed the sentiments, I love watching it as it turns very fascinating

I promise I will be around more I have done the bulk of my cards so hopefully it will know be a little easier.
Anyway here is my card

Thank you for stopping by.
