Two very special people had their 50th wedding Anniversary on Saturday.  My parents Jack and Carol Hess were married on April 16, 1961.  We are so blessed to be sharing this milestone with them.  My parents will be celebrating on a 5-night cruise with our family and my brother Jeff and sister-in-law Lauren.  It will be a good time and will add to the many happy memories we share as a family.

I also wanted to share the card I made them.  It is a Tri-Shutter design because I thought the occasion called for more than just a standard fold card. The gold glitter paper and gold glitter polka dot paper was purchased from a chain craft store. I used Stampin Up whisper white card stock and flowers and pearl stickers. Die cuts were used for the ovals, scallop ovals, numbers, and leaves. The poem and the Happy Anniversary were designed using my computer and color printer.
