HAPPY 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY (from the group)

I belong to a Thursday morning Craft Group and one of our members celebrated her 50th wedding Anniversary last Thursday.  I always make a card so that we can all write our own message, and this is the little project I created for Yvonne and John, who were married in 1965


The card consists of four concertina fold outs, and the cover of each has the year of their marriage in pale fold diecuts. The belly band holds them all closed.  The the foreground of the pic you will see all the little tags that the ladies wrote their messages on.  These were then pasted into the foldouts.

When the belly band is removed :


The very last page of the foldouts then contains the numbers of the current year (2015)


Used to create this project

gems

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
