Anniversary

Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary.

Several years ago, when I first got into cardmaking, we had this conversation:

Him: I need to run out tonight and buy a card for you.
Me: Ummm, we no longer buy cards in this house. We make them.

He was a very good sport and up for the challenge. I handed him my basics and some scraps, and he went to work.

He always labels the back with a crazy "collection" title, like "From the Love You Forever collection."

This is the card that I made him for this year....


and this is the card that he made me...


When I gave him mine, he looked at it, jokingly rolled his eyes, and said, "Now, how am I supposed to compete when you go and pull out a picture to put on yours?"

A little later, he said that he wished he could have made the "10" stand out more on the card, so I told him how he could have done that.

An artist in the making. Laugh.
