Happy Anniversary Missy & Jeff!!!

Last month I made an anniversary card for my niece, Shelley (anniversary is Valentine's Day!) and now I have made one for her older sister, Missy.  Both of these young ladies are very dear to me!!!  Here are two different photos of the card front...I did two because on the 2nd one the silver flat pearls cast too much shadow to suit my "OCD"...LOL



Here are some photos of the inside.




It may look strange that I made the inside back panel more narrow than the front, but I did that because of the way that I did the "hinge".....here is a photo showing that.


In order to make the "hinge" like this, you need 1/2" of the back panel.  Since my card front is 5 1/2 square and I wanted to keep the "square" appearance, I made the back panel 5 1/2" x 5", so after I adhered the "hinge", I was left with a 5x5" square.  I sure hope this makes sense!  And now, here is the "signature tag".


Thanks for stopping by and please hurry back!
