An Explosive 50th Anniversary!

Can you handle another explosion? Well, get ready! My Aunt Gail and Uncle Ralph will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at the end of the month. Their kids put together a fun little project called "Gail & Ralph's 50 Days of Love and Surprises" . Each person was given a day to celebrate them counting down to their anniversary. Our day is this Friday the 6th, so since I was in the explosive mood, I thought it would be a great way to celebrate them.

So, once again.....here's the explosion!!

I decided to go with a "Love Birds" theme - so I started out with Papertrey Ink's Love Bird set.  

I embossed the birdcage in black and then stamped the birds over it, so it looked like they were inside.  

I built the rest of the box from there, adding red glass hearts as embellishments.

Here's the cage up close along with a punched heart with glossy accents.

I die cut out Sizzix numbers and stamped Studio G drink glasses and added glossy accents and some glitter to simulate champagne.

Here's the outside with a bunch of gold bling for their 'Golden" anniversary!

So, we'll hand deliver this to Aunt Gail and Uncle Ralph on Friday. (Thankfully she doesn't subscribe to my blog!).  I'm sure they'll be happy with it!

Hope you had a great New Year's Celebration!!!

Thanks for your visit!!
