Our family is celebrating two occasions today. First, our wedding anniversary - I've been married to my sweet hubby for thirteen years. I wasn't making my own cards back then, but we knew we wanted to send handcrafted invitations. We found a local artist to make them and we still have one framed on our dining room wall. (Sorry for the odd angle, I was trying to reduce glare from the glass). I guess I liked the clean and simple look back then too.
And the second occasion is my sister-in-law Helene's birthday - Happy Birthday Helene! Helene and my brother, Richard, had a beautiful wedding last summer in Stockholm - here's a picture of them cutting their cake. Yes, there are Smurfs on top! In fact, they just celebrated their first wedding anniversary too.
I was so happy to be able to make their wedding invitations - one side was printed in Swedish and the other side in English.
I did make my regular Monday CAS challenge card today, but I was camera challenged and not able to photograph it properly. I'll post it in the morning...
Congratulations on your anniversary! Your invitations are lovely (so cool that even then you supported handmade!) and the ones you made for your brother and his wife are totally wonderful!
