My Special Mum and Dad

Hello friends

Today's project features a card I made for my Mum and Dad's
Wedding Anniversary.  I used a laminating pouch from 
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L for the photo and I
placed this in the card aperture window.
I've done a full tutorial over on the Scrapbook Adhesive's blog here
if you fancy popping along to take a look :) 
The laminating pouches are pretty nifty.


I love this photo, my parents are in their teens so 1950's and my Dad is sporting
a hand knitted cardi by my Great Aunt Sally. 
My parents have wonderful stories of their growing up,
meeting, dating and I want to write those down soon
and feature them on my Desk Adventures blog - link on sidebar.


The die cut embellishment is Swallow and Heart although the silver bird
isn't a swallow - it is in fact from Draping Vines Elements.
Both available on the website - just click on the names.


Take care friends, is it really Wednesday today?
Surely it can't be city job already tomorrow...

  7. Lovely card Christine. I was also in my teens in the 50's - great days, so I can relate to that. I'm doing a family history scrap book and have found out some interesting things about my ancestors - well worth the effort.

  11. What a lovely card Christine your parents will love it.
    Don't delay taking down those stories of their lives. Our son recorded his fathers memories and his favorite story of how he and I met was played at the celebration of his life when he passed away last month.
    Everyone commented on it.
    Hugs
