Carte Postale bookends

I found these great bookends at Circle Thrift, and I thought, "I can use these for a craft project!". I made these bookends as a belated anniversary gift for my sister and brother-in-law. "How belated?" you might ask. Well, they're anniversary was in March and I mailed the book-end/frames last week. Their house is decorated with lots of reds and purples, so I think these will fit in just fine.


Some of the supplies I used:

• carte postale stamp set
• white craft ink pad
  
• 1 3/8" square punch
• brads
  
• 1/4" grosgrain ribbon

happy together - anniversary card, 3 different versions

My parents (35 years together), grandparents (60+ years together!), and sister/brother-in-law (4 years together) all recently celebrated anniversaries, so I'm sending this belated card. What a legacy of long marriages! My husband and I recently celebrated 3 years of marriage. We are thankful for this family legacy.

Supplies:

• A Little Love stamp set - (retiring June 30!)


• It Stamp set - hostess set 2006-2007


• Barely banana cardstock


• brocade blue cardstock


• mellow moss cardstock


• chocolate chip cardstock

• chocolate chip classic ink

• 1 3/8" square punch - this makes everything go quickly!
