I admire this lady tremendously - she's overcome a terrible start in life and it has made her strong and wise instead of bitter and inward-looking. She has positivity, empathy and zest for life (as well as an interesting way with words!) and I am delighted that there are lots of virtual hugs heading her way today! I've made her a card to celebrate her wedding anniversary - come and have a look:
For my heart plants I've used some a stamp that isn't even available yet (yes, Darnell, you get a sneaky peek at one of the upcoming Sale-a-bration stamps!) I've stamped several of this gorgeous leaf image on top of each other to represent a plant of lurve that has grown strong and healthy!
I've topped the plants with punched hearts: a textured one for Mister and one sporting a diamond for Darnell because she's a treasure! And check out the two-part sentiment! I think you'll all agree that this sentiment is SO perfect for Darnell - Happy anniversary...
... to someone who makes others so happy. Congratulations Darnell and Mister and may you have many more happy years together. xx

Stamps: Madison Avenue (not yet available), Teeny Tiny Wishes, Petite Pairs

I'm looking forward to seeing Darnell's wedding anniversary post today - she has said she'll be posting a wedding photo of herself and Mister. So, to join in with the fun, we're all posting a photo of our wedding day (in fact this one's been on my blog before but is the only one I can lay my hands on at the moment...) My husband and I look terribly romantic but I'm sure we're wondering where the loos are, or giggling about something rude great aunt Mabel said quite audibly during the ceremony. Actually I'm making that bit up - I don't have a great aunt Mabel to my knowledge and if I did I'm pretty sure she would be sadly well-behaved!

What a beautiful card! I adore the sentiments and the pretty flowers. I think your and your Mister just look fab in this photo - so much in love! I'm enjoying this blog hop!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card and I love your wedding photo, Rather Romeo and Juliet I think :)

Thanks for joining in all the fun, Vicky! That is definitely a perfect sentiment for Darnell, and I love the use of the leaf/plant stamp at different heights (and different adornments) to represent Darnell and Mister. You would have to make one taller and one shorter for me and my Mister - and yes we did have Scottish dancing - Eightsome Reels and Gay Gordons (and a few others whose names escape me) - I had never done it before and haven't done it since, but it was fun that one time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card and a lovley sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bride and adoring husband picture

Thank you so much, Vicky! What a wonderful surprise this has been! Mister and I are both quite overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteYou've made me feel so loved and special with a dedicated post just for me! I'm totally blushing and laughing and crying. Phew, my heart!
I ADORE your card with the Mr. and Mrs. Stems and flowers! Adorable! I'm pinning all our beautiful anniversary cards on a special board on my Pinterest account.
Thank you for linking to Ardyth's post, but do you think you could do another link with your photo, or instead of your card? We so loved the idea of seeing all the photos in the thumbnails and your photo is absolutely stunning! Please?
(I loved your comment, keeping it real, that you were polly needing to go potty and aching for the session to be over! So true!!)
And, finally, I'd love to know the month and day of your anniversary, so I can return the flavor with a happy comment on your blog on your special day! Mwah! Darnell
Lovely card Vicky. I'm sure she will be delighted. Super wedding pic too. x
ReplyDeleteVicky, your card is just perfect for the occasion! The sentiment couldn't be more appropriate! :)
ReplyDeleteYour wedding photo is absolutely dreamy! Love how romantic it is!
Wonderful card to celebrate Darnell and the Mister's anniversary. LOVE that photo of you and hubby on your wedding day! You still look the same.....
ReplyDeleteLove how you've stamped those stems to make the different heights for the heart shaped blooms, great anniversary card for Darnell :0)
