A Circle Anniversary Card

Hello!

I was so late in making an anniversary card for my brother and sister-in-law! I had wanted to make it special and kept delaying it until I found the right image and then I had to find the right papers and then I had to find the special component that would make the card out of the ordinary. The current challenge on Mo Manning's challenge blog was for "A Circle w/Mo Image" and that gave me the shape and I already had an image chosen that was one of hers. I found the papers - even one I liked for the bench - and then I still had to find that special component that was not something I normally used. Going through my treasure drawer I came upon the small paper flowers that I had been saving for over a year to use for a special project. Well, they were perfection to add to this card image!

So Happy Anniversary Dick and Bonnie! I hope that they don't read my blog post today and the card will arrive as a surprise. I will write after they get it in the mail to check this post. I hope that it gets to them without any damage! You can see Mo's current challenge at http://mosdigitalchallenge.blogspot.com/ - the DT has created so many fun cards!





Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Wishing you love and flowers!
