like Salt 'n Pepper :)
20 years ago today, almost at this hour, I married my husband - the exact other half of me. As I look back on this blessed day and reflect on our beautiful wedding day - I smile. I smile because I know that on that day and each one since, we have had a life together that asks for nothing less than what it's been up to now. A life of faith, 4 beautiful children, and a bond that after 29 years together {I think we had the world's longest dating/engagement} :) is still as strong today as it was then, if not stronger ~ although I do jokingly tell my husband he can stop taking the "in sickness and in health" part so literally :)
He's truly a rare gem of a man ~ with so much beauty in his soul, it's almost hard to imagine the depths of his love and I know that I am absolutely, unequivocally blessed.
Might I add, he's also one funny man, too. Which comes in handy when you are married to a 'Dr. Phil' ~ he knows when that little bit of humor will unravel my attempt at being tough and unbreakable ;) Many friends when we met that we could not be more different ~ like salt 'n pepper! Naturally, I was inspired to create a quirky little card for my hubby with the sense of humor and amazing burst of love :)

I followed the TAWS challenge to use a color photo for inspiration - lots of orange and blue (awesome Miami colors, too!) I inked up the stamps and sentiment from the TAWS Kitchen Gadgets 2 stamp set. This card was a blast to put together. I love creating cards with 1. lots of bursts of color and 2. using different elements for embellishments ... I'm such a tactile crafter and just love touching and rearranging all the things to go on the card. It somehow ends up looking a little collage-y in the end, but it's such fun!
I used up some Basic Grey Lauderdale papers from a mat stack
Thanks for stopping by today!
I'll be entering this card into the TAWS Be Inspired #26
challenge here!
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
