Seize the Sketch #1 and 23 years

IMG_2172

Seize the Sketch is a new challenge blog which is the offspring of Seize the Birthday!
Many of my Scrapping friends are on the DT for Seize the Sketch so I had to play along.

Exactly 23 years ago today, I married my best friend and high school sweetheart!
He made me laugh then and he makes me laugh now even though there are currently 800 miles between us as he is working in Wisconsin.  I made a card for him HERE a few weeks ago but I made another card using the sketch.  He is coming home in a couple week's to take our son to University so I have lots of time to decide which card I will give him, maybe both! When I selected this picture my daughter gave me an "Awww, you were both so young!". I had noticed that too.  LOL

  13. What a fabulous picture. You both were so young. James looks a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio in this pic--is that why you married him? Happy Anniversary to you both, and many many more. I hope you get a fab card from your husband kit! You must post to show us what you got.
