Golden Wedding

Two very special people celebrate

 a very special day today

My Aunt Carol & Uncle Jim

Aunt Carol is also my Godmother

Their 50th Wedding Anniversary

They were married the year I was born

So, I set to and made them this

12 x 12 frame with one of their

wedding photo's and a recent photo

Lots of special things on this project....

Papers are Blae & Ivy Collection from Kaiser

There's Prima, Zva, Spellbinders, American Crafts,

ribbon, lace, roses, KindyGlitz,

gorgeous crochet doily, trinkets

and two precious photo's

The theme continues with the card,

also using Blae & Ivy

The numbers at the top of card

and frame are American Thickers,

 which were originally pink!

I sanded them back and heat embossed them

with gold embossing powder

I stamped and embossed the word

celebrate at card bottom also

Martha Stewart "Layered Arches" PATP

And, of course, a box for the card!

Simply decorated with some paper, ribbon

and a few wee roses.

I have added the punched edge inside

 the acetate window and finished

with a wee bit ribbon trim

A money wallet, which is also

 Blae & Ivy,

 though you wouldn't

 know it (the back of this paper is blue!)

Martha Stewart "Lace Doily" punch

Some more ribbon trim, beautiful wee roses,

including one yellow rose, a couple of Prima

 leaves and some gold sprigs

Now, what to put it in?

 

Pizza box of course!!

 Average box 12 x 12. Frame 14 x 14! *#!**

 

So, beautiful Daughter headed round to

 the local take away for me and asked to buy

 a big (16x16) pizza box. No food, just the box! 

 

She got a few funny looks,

not least from the customers waiting

 for their orders, and duly arrived home

 with this beauty 

A couple of sheets of wrapping paper,

 and duly transformed

Loving the title frame

Nestabilities "Floral Ovals"

and gold card - perfect

A few sheets of gold tissue paper

Wrapped and ready to go

 

 

So, dear Aunt Carol & Uncle Jim,

Congratulations on your

Golden Wedding Anniversary,

 you are an inspiration to all of us
