Making the years count - TMS #491

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I'm excited about today's card.  This is my parents' anniversary card... ♥ ♥ 59 years!!!! ♥ ♥   My husband and I are just over halfway there, but I am so thankful for the faithful example of my parents!!  

If you wonder why the bottom looks odd... it wouldn't lay completely flat because it's an easel card!

Straight on...

My sentiment is DRS Counting the Years.  It's cut out with Spellbinders Circles and Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles.  My paper is Crate Paper Bloom. It's embossed with a Lifestyle Crafts EF.  The inside sentiment is Raisin Boat Formal Phrases.  The swirls are Spellbinders Doodle Parts.  Finished off with crinkle ribbon, Prima flowers, Spellbinders Foliage, Die-namites Budding Branch, twine, and a metal charm that's been hanging around my desk for awhile.  


Challenges...
Cuttlebug Mania - marriage (mine is not a wedding card, but "marriage" is in my sentiment plus I think 59 yrs of marriage fits this category!) 
Path of Positivity #66 - anything positive goes + opt twist of love (59 yrs of marriage shows a real and lasting love!  In this day when so many marriages end, I'm thankful that I never once questioned my parents love for each other or for me!)
{PIN}spirational Challenges #232 - photo inspiration (inspired by the flowers)
