Happy Anniversary to the Perfect Pair!

My parents celebrated their 40th anniversary Friday aboard an Alaskan cruise. They got back last night so I thought that today would be a good day to do my anniversary post for them. They are amazing. They got married so young, but have managed to stick together with love and respect. I am in awe of their relationship. It hasn't always been easy for them, but they have always managed through it together and I admire and love them so much for that.

Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad!!!

For my final sneak peek for the Unity Stamp Co. June kit of the month, the image and phrase was perfect for an anniversary card for my parents. I used this morning's CPS sketch challenge (#118). I just changed up the dimensions a bit to make it work with this gorgeous pear tree stamp image.

Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. June kit of the month
*K&Company Wild Raspberry collection
*Making Memories ledger paper
*watercolor pencils
*Marvy Uchida scallop punch
*copper brads
*Memories brown inkpad
*corner punch
*ribbon

For this Perfect pair sentiment, this kit is AWESOME! These are 2 separate stamps, but there is also pear spelled like the fruit so you can go for an elegant look (like what I was trying to do here) or a more fun, punny look if you want a more playful card. Angela thinks of everything!! AND you can use that "Perfect" on it's own (I love that font!)

Thank you for the wonderful anniversary tribute! Think we will plan to go back to Alaska for our 80th anniversary (or maybe sooner).
