A Shabby Happy Anniversary Card

Hey there!  So glad you stopped by today!  I have a little card that was inspired by quite a few challenges today.  First, 2Sketches4You has their newest sketch up, which is, as always, amazing!  Next There She Goes newest challenge is all about worn, torn and distressed cards, LOVE IT!  Then my friends, The Shabby Tea Room has a challenge using the fun of summer as inspiration.  So put all of those together and I came up with this little number.




I know that it isn't what you might call a real summer image but when I saw this picture it screamed summer to me.  Balmy evening with the one you love and well you get the idea.  ;0)  Have a good one!
