Happy Anniversary To Us!

This month over on the Scrapology Blog the card challenge set by Alison is to make a card using up some of your old stash. These papers, stickers and tag are all from Basic Grey's 'Urban Couture' collection.  I used this line a lot over the years, and it's still one I love - especially some of there green / brown swirly patterned papers. These cute little birds are from the 'Create a Critter' Cricut cartridge.

This was made for our 29th wedding anniversary on 5th May, but had to keep it off the blog until today's challenge was posted.

Thanks for looking and please pop over to Scrapology for more details of the challenge.
