June Challenge - Scrapping Everyday Miracles

In this traditionally popular wedding month of June, the SEM challenge theme is all about love! You can scrap about your own marriage or any other couple whose love for one another inspires you. I chose to scrap about my relationship. I am continually thankful for the wonderful man that God brought into my life to be my husband. I can't imagine someone who is more suited to me. I think we make a great team!

The scrap twist this month is to NOT use any patterned paper. That can be a toughie! We would love to see what you come up with. Check out the Scrapping Everyday Miracles blog to see what the others on the design team cooked up to inspire you with. Link up your own project by the end of the month and you'll be in the running to win a Citrus Twist kit chock full of scrappy goodness!

70 Years!!!

Today is a very special day. My grandparents are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary! They are special people and we had a big family party last night to celebrate this milestone. Here they were, 70 years ago:

Fred & Marie Calkins • June 2nd, 1943

I wanted to create a really special card for them commemorating their anniversary. I knew that making a 3-D album card with Karen Burniston's awesome die would be perfect. Here is the front:

And here is the inside:

Normally a card made with the Accordion Album die is square but Karen shows how to use the die to make a double high card here. It's not hard at all! I hope you are inspired to try it out.

This month, the challenge at Inspiration Journal is all about brides, weddings, and anniversaries. We would love to see what inspiring projects you can make with this theme. Go check out the details and link up your project there by the end of June and you'll have a chance to win $50 in Emporium Dollars to spend in the store!
