Better and Stronger

Tomorrow my husband and I will celebrate our anniversary - 49 years.  Neither one of us can believe we are old enough for that number but our bodies are starting to convince us that we are indeed.  Even though our bodies are showing wear and tear with the years, our love for each isn't wearing out. It is thriving not just surviving.  God's grace and gift.
This is the card I made for him. 
This cute image is Dearie Dolls.   Sketch is Tuesday Morning Sketch:
This was my first time to use two new dies from Stamploration.  I put tiny pieces of dimensional tape under the letters of Always and used only the hearts from the Clustered Hearts die.  Image is cut with Die-namics Stitched Rectangles.
Even though "my" dress doesn't have flowers, I used the orange and red in one of the dresses in the inspiration photo for the Cutploration challenge.

Simon Says Wednesday - more than one die
Daily Marker - 30 days coloring
Simon Monday - layers
Tuesday Morning Sketch
