Christmas Cards Made 2016 
Friend - ship - Card 42

I made this card for a friend that used to work with DH before they both retired. Previous to that, He and I worked together for many years...in fact he went on to be the Vice President of my union.

He is coming to visit us up at the lake in July and I have this card ready to give him.  He did us an enormous favour when DH retired and this card is to thank him. The image will have a special meaning for him (that I can not share the details of here). The wee charm is from England and seemed so appropriate for this card as he was our anchor.
I have used a VOS (very old stash) item on this card. The tag that the anchor is hanging from and the snippet of DP behind the sentiment are actually both tags. They are from a package of aqua, orange, and blue tags and die cuts in various sizes, that I bought at a garage sale...a long, long, time ago. I just liked the aqua/orange colour combo and then never used it! lol    So I hung the anchor from a little tag and trimmed down a larger one to mat the sentiment...mitchy matchy...just the way I like it! My daughters tease me about that... lol

PS My DH did not like the colours I used for the tug boat. He says it would blend in with the water too much.  A brighter, more vibrantly coloured tugboat may make an appearance in the near future!
