50th Anniversary


We recently celebrated my parents 5oth Wedding Anniversary.  I wanted to give them something to remember this momentous occasion that would be unique and one of a kind and this is what I came up with. 

I purchased a wooden photo cube from Michael's.  I then painted it white.  I had some gold paper that I cut out as frames for each side and the top and used modge-podge to adhere them. I found a mirror stand with swans on it that had wings tipped in gold.  I added adhesive letters to the back of the mirror that said 50 years.  I hot glued flowers and then hot glued the whole thing to the top of the box which is actually a cover.

On the back of the mirror I added more of the gold paper.  I added adhesive pearl swirls and a K and Company sticker.


The top of the box is actually a cover so I made a little memory book and placed inside the box.  We got all those who came in to give them best wishes to sign it.









 I made a card to go with the box.  I used gold paper and K and Company flowers. 



  They were white with gold centers.  I used Tattered Angel's gold mist and sprayed the flowers to achieve gold ones.  I also did this with the flowers on the box.  I added rhinestone swirls from Recollections and a contrasting gold paper punched with a Martha Stewart punch around the page set.

  I was quite pleased with the over all results.  I hope to begin posting more regularly on here.  Thanks for looking!
