50 Years!

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links. 

Do you know anyone who has made it to Fifty years of marriage?  It is definitely an accomplishment in today's world.  Now days, people treat marriage like a pez dispenser.  "Nope, I don't think I like you" and throw them off to the side for something "better".  As if they, are a perfect pleasure, to be around all the time. It takes commitment (Whoo.  Commitment, do people even know what that word means anymore?) and work, but most of all God.  If we allow Him to guide us, it will be a much better road.

Okay, now to the pretty stuff...


I used a Darice Embossing Folder, with my Cuttlebug to emboss the Gold Vellum and paper. I also used Design Space with my Explore, to make the "50 years" circle.  The font is Ashlyn's Alphabet (cursive).   I also use pop up squares, some gold sequins and a little ribbon to finish the project.

Now, some BIG NEWS......

Want to be able to easily make pretty décor, personalized gifts, and fun cards for upcoming holidays? Then you need to treat yourself to a Cricut Explore Air™ — Cricut's very popular electronic cutting machine. It's the best DIY crafting tool to be developed since the sewing machine!

The Cricut Explore Air is versatile, easy to use, and allows for very precise cuts. It's also incredibly affordable, especially since Cricut generously discounted the cost by up to $200 on the machine and bundles — just in time for the holiday crafting season!

With the Cricut Explore Air™, you can cut over 60 different types of material, including paper, fabric, plastic and vinyl to name a few. The Explore Air also features Cut Smart™ technology, which allows you to cut a wide range of shapes and sizes with exceptional precision, from ¼" tall up to 11½" wide x 23½" tall.

This Cricut Explore machine is called the Air because it has built-in Bluetooth® capability. This means you can use Cricut’s free iPad app and design anything you want from your iPad, just like you would on your home computer, but with the convenience of being able to take your projects with you anywhere. Then, you can just wirelessly send your project from your iPad to your Explore Air to bring it to life.

While the Cricut Explore Air is impressive on its own, purchasing it with one of Cricut's bundle offerings makes it even more valuable. Each bundle comes with different accessories that allow you to expand your creativity and make your crafting projects even more simple and fun to create. Plus, by purchasing your Explore Air with a bundle, you're able to save a bundle in the process!

Miss You - Blue Flower Bed

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links.  

Do you ever have friends, that you may not see a lot of, but they are great friends?  I have a few of them.  They are there for you when you need them, even though, you may not see them all the time.

This is for one of those friends...

HERE is the Design Space link!

I used my Explore and Design Space for this one - big surprise, I know :)

The flowers are from Create A Critter, the sign from George and Basic Shapes.  The pen is actually a Metallic Blue from American Crafts.  I also used Waterfall & Lime Green Stickles, on the flower tips and grass.

Have a beautiful day & God bless!
