Okay...the author in me couldn't resist telling a story with this one! My DH and I will celebrate our 25th in August, and this was the perfect theme for a card for that event. I had to make it over-sized (hope that's not cheating!). Here's the story:
Something old: the ribbon in the upper left corner is from the garter I wore at my wedding; also, a picture of us as a bride and groom in 1983! Pink and grey were our wedding colors, and all of the paper is pearlized. I paper pieced the bridal gown with pearlized paper. too.
Something new: a picture of us as grandparents now, holding our sweet grand-daughter, Emma; also, everything I used to make this card is new except for the garter bow.
Something borrowed: the quote on the top is from "our" song (written by Clint Black and called "When I Said I Do") The quote reads, "When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time Be faithful and true, devoted to you That's what I had in mind when I said I do."
Something Blue: Along the bottom edge of the card, there are 4 strips of ribbon, representing our four kids: one pink, three blue; also, the garter bow was blue, but is now quite faded.

I love your card. I like what you did the before and after kind of affect. I did an anniversary card for us only I used pictures of before and after. Great idea.
