~You Always Know~



My husband and I reached 20 years this summer...


20 YEARS PEOPLE!!!



It means he knows me better than I know myself!


He recently was my "listening ear" and I wanted to make him a special card~to let him know how much I appreciate his concern when it comes to my well-being.


He's got ONE BIG LISTENING EAR, that's all I gotta say!


He's probably nodding his head while reading this...very enthusiastically, I might add!!! ;)


I chose this precious image from Technique Tuesday's Fly.





See how the girl is following the boy...but still a part of the fun?



That's like my husband...taking a kite, so to speak...and leading the way.



He's the fun one in our marriage. ;)



I could be in the "Woe is me" state of mind, and he will throw in
something HILARIOUS...



~What a blessing to have him add joy and laughter to my life~!



I chose this sentiment from a different set, You Always Know.

Isn't it SWEET?


It conveyed exactly what I was feeling when I saw the image.



I incorporated the colors and dry embossing for





I added the smallest amount of pink with my Memento Marker (to keep it masculine)...I love doing the speckling thing.


Thanks for stopping in and taking the time to visit~
