It was a long, but fun weekend.  We celebrated my in-law's 50th Wedding Anniversary this weekend.  We went to Door County, Wi.  It's beautiful up there.  Friday, we went hiking at a state park along Lake Michigan. Beautiful scenery.  We thought about going kayaking on that side, but it was way to choppy for us novices.

Saturday, we did go kayaking.  Chris and I went for 1 hour and the girls went for two hours.  It was a great time.  Chris had never kayaked before so we were stunned he actually went!  And he surprised us again by saying he'd go again!  Who is this man?

Someone already asked where was the picture of me kayaking?  Unless one of the girls took it, you will have to take my word that I was out there.  I actually really like kayaking.  It's easier than canoeing.  With the girl's help, I might be able to get him to try this again.

So, we did go and celebrate the 50th Wedding Anniversay.  Here's a pic of the four of us with grandma and grandpa. There was a lot of family time along with Chris' brother and family. 

  

The weekend could have lasted a few more days, it went by way too fast.  With Covid, we haven't gone anywhere so it was a great change to get away.  It was just hard having to mask up everytime we went somewhere.  But we were careful everywhere we went with masks and hand sanitizer.  

So, for the 50th, I couldn't let it go without a special handmade card.

It's a mix of old (retired) and new products from SU!  I thought that it was appropriate to use both for an Anniversay card.  The numbers/words are from a retired stamp set that comes in handy, I won't get rid of it.  The flowers and leaves are from Lovely You stamp set that is very current.  The flowers on the wedding cake were lavender, so of course, I had to incorporate Highland Heather. Since 50th anniversary is golden, I had to use the gold foil and doillies.

The number part of the card was cased from Pinterest.  The rest is my design.  Sorry, no card recipe for this one since so many products are retired.  But, like me, pick your favorite part of this card and make it your own.  

Until next time...Stampin' Always,
