CASology #99: ANNIVERSARY

Hello, friends!  Another Tuesday has rolled around and that means a new cue word!



This week we are sponsored by STAMPlorations...be sure to check out the CASology blog for all the details!

While CASology is nearing an anniversary soon (i.e., 100 cue words), my husband and I are also approaching our wedding anniversary of 19 years.  I am also celebrating my 400th blog post today...does that count as an anniversary of sorts?  (That may be a stretch, but I'm still happy about it!)

For my card, I inked up two sweet sets from Sweet Stamp Shop and snuck in the word "anniversary" from a Hero Arts sentiment set.  This card is going to my DH on our anniversary...we started dating at age 17 and I think we might have looked this young when we started dating all those years ago!  (I had a pony tail and everything!)  



Here is the inside using a coordinating sentiment from Sweet Stamp Shop.


I kept this card "clean and simple" by using a monochromatic color scheme, minimal layers and embellishments, and one main image.  I love adding dry embossing to card bases, too -- I think it adds interest without distraction.



Now it's your turn!  Be sure to link up your ANNIVERSARY card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will no doubt be inspired by the many ways our Design Team interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!
