And for one of my most stressful cards to make each year... :-) It took a while to decide how to start this year's anniversary card for my beloved husband. We have a plethora of wedding invitations left, due to the printing companies mistake, and as such I have made it my mission to use a particular piece from those invitations for our anniversary card each year. Waste not, want not, right? In particular, I make sure I use the gold embossed pinecone. But, like last year's card, I also made ample use of the beautiful ivory cardstock our invitations were printed on - in fact, if you peeled off the face of this card, you would find the embossed text of our invite itself appearing on the other sides of what you see facing out!
This one felt a bit last-minute, as usually I at least shoot to have this card done a week ahead of our special day (preferably a month ahead! Lol), but hey, finishing it day-day-of works, too. ;)
Thank you to our wonderful hostesses for the helpful inspiration this week that enabled me to throw this together and actually commit to a design (committing to my husband was easy; committing to what to make for him for a card on our anniversary, his birthday, or Valentine's day is anything but! HA!)

F4A459 - Go For The Gold

CT1118 - Along those Lines (helped me choose the stamp to use in the background! )
(Really, hostesses, it was like you picked your challenges just for us this week! :-D Thank you!!!!)

Gorgeous anniversary card and congrats on getting it done just at the right time! You knocked this one out of the park with your elegant, masculine CAS design....and that Pinecone over the middle of the Blessed sentiment - brilliant and effective design element. Nicely done! TFS
