My parents have been married for 63 years. When Mom had her surgery Dad was at the hospital everyday. I took this picture of them walking in the hall...Mom is so short Dad had to hold up her robe and hospital gown. They are such sweet and loving parents...I am so blessed!! I made a card for them with Crafty Secrets Cherish set...I thought this set showing the lovers from the back went perfect with their picture. The PTI Sweet Blush cs was stamped with black and the edges were sponged with the Sweet Blush ink. I colored some areas on the image and the heart with a SU Blush Blossom marker.The ribbon was heat curled and then draped around the layers. TFL and have a great weekend!!

Tears here too ... OMG so so very sweet. The essence that you captured here is what got me into stamping/scrapping to begin with. Beautiful card (and photo and story). I love the rose in the middle of the heart. The b+w treatment with light blush works so well. TSMFS!!!! Lela

oh, Joan, let me tell you what I experienced just now when I viewed your card...even before I read your description. HUGE waves of the Spirit of the Lord all over me...what a loving picture, a treasure. And your card is so very beautiful...I'm crying tears of happiness here and remembering my beloved grandparents and missing them (but that's temporary). Thank you for creating this card, it is truly magnificent!
