Anniversary

I created this card for several challenges and a very special anniversary, mine. On March 8th my husband and I will be married for 15 years. That is a long time to put up with the same person. Just kidding!! I love him very much and wouldn't trade him for nothing.

So, I followed the sketch posted at Lili of the Valley, used the Anniversary theme at ABC Challenge and the theme of music or dance at Cute Card Thursday.

I have a pair of Betty Boop slippers and when walking past them the other day I thought she would be fun to color so I searched for coloring spots on the web and of course found one. You can find anything on the web! Any hoo, I colored this one, glittered her dress and wah-la here she is. Then came the fun (or labor) of coming up with a sentiment. The song You're Still the one came to mind and seem to fit so I used it.

The red ribbon with the white hearts has it's own story. My husband sent me a dozen roses on the anniversary of our ten year first date and being a sentimental person I saved the ribbon that was on the arrangement. They used about 5 ft so I have plenty. I also thought this fit the occasion perfectly so had to find a way to add it to the layout.
