I can't believe that today we have been married for 50 years! We just don't feel old enough 😊. I didn't want to make a traditional card for Graham and as music has been such an important part of our lives, and still is. When we met at a party he was in charge of playing the records on his record player. I was 15 and he was 19 and we were both too shy to talk to each other that night. We soon got together though and the rest is history.
I bought this Nitwits digi kit called Peachy Keen with this card in mind. It hasn't photographed terribly well unfortunately.
I created the arrangement in the corner on the backing paper and then printed all the elements onto card. I decoupaged each of the corner elements and added contrasting card to the lozenge shapes. I typed the sentiment onto one and 2 song titles onto the others. The paint chip already had the sentiment on it and couldn't be better. All I added were the punched musical notes.
We have a meal booked this evening so we will be celebrating 50 happy years together.

I know just what you mean about not feeling old enough, I was just the same when we celebrated ours, like you 15 when we met, married at 17 and a Mum at 19. I look at the youngster's now as they seem such babes, there agin maybe we were as well!!
