Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband!!

Today, is our  ...  anniversary!  I'll let you figure it out! :)

I am writing this post early and scheduling it for the morning of our anniversary!   We are heading out to spend the day as a family so I won't have time to post it that (this) morning.  (Just the 2 of us will go out later in the week.)

I was so excited to make this card and I am thrilled with the way it turned out!!  I was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.   Check out that one HERE.    I changed the wording because I wanted to number the days that we have been married.  I loved him even before we were married but I could not tell you the exact day that happened!   I remember the date of our first date, but I don't think I loved him at first sight!  In fact, I stood him up the first time he asked me to meet him! :o  

Sorry my ribbon got in the way!  It's 8,766.  And I'm not going to show you what I wrote inside!!!  The font is Lemon Chicken.  It is such a pretty font!!
Can you figure out the years??  Don't think I'm mathematically inept when you divide 8,766 by 365 and don't get a whole number!   Ever heard of leap year??

~computer generated sentiment
~Nestabilities Labels Four
~Recollections "Charming" DP
~Offray ribbon
~Allegro embossing folder
~Tea Dye and Walnut Stain distress inks

As I was putting it all together, the thought came to me that the Allegro folder was appropriate because "we make beautiful music together"!!   We actually do... we have a very harmonious relationship, but we also sing together in church a lot! (Don't mean to sound full of myself by calling it beautiful!!)   But music is what brought us together!  We met in a choir at college.  He was actually dating another girl in the choir, but ditched her once he met me!!  ;)

Thanks for stopping by!!!   Appreciate your hubby today even if it's not your anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary! 24 years!! Wow! Love the card, I'm sure he did, too.

It's those funny details that are the story of real love - that you stood him up the first time, for example. The kids love those tidbits ;) Love the masculine touches, that gorgeous ribbon, and the sweet personalization of the days. I would have forgotten to add in the leap days for sure! lol
Happy Anniversary :)

Happy Anniversary! This card is spectacular--great design, gorgeous colors! I love that, by adding the number of days, it becomes totally personal. I need to find that Lemon Chicken font--it's beautiful.

Happy Anniversary, Debbie! Sorry I'm late.
8,766 days?! Who would have thought...you don't look old enough! LOL. I guess a happy marriage is the fountain of youth! Wish you both another blissful 24 years (and more) together.
