Gates to our Garden of Love

Hello all and a very friendly and warm welcome to you . 

Today I have a card I am sharing with you created for Maja Design . 

I love to create keepsakes for very important milestones and celebrations .

  I created a card with the FIKA collection to record our wedding anniversary . 

ANNIVERSARY CARD 

The gates on the front cover represent the gates to the garden of our life and love .

I aged the chipboard gates with crackle paint to represent the aging and passing of time .

These are some of my notes inside the card.

January 24^th Our special day today .....

44 years ago today was our wedding day in 1970 ... 

Today we are celebrating our wonderful life together . 

We have learned to enjoy it all ... our Love, our precious family, our challenges , our tough times, our fun times, our not so glamorous times, all the music festivals and concerts, glorious memories, learning to keep moving forward no matter what .So many memories !
Thankyou my darling Baden for your amazing deep love you show me every day , even when I am not so "nice", sometimes.

 Thanks for your beautiful hugz and warmth.

 Thanks for being you, we are connected in such an amazing way , 'we are soul mates', forever in my heart xoxox
"I remember what Michael Rice (Marks oncologist )said to us when our beautiful son was dealing with cancer at age 14 ... I see many couples here in the 'Adelaide Childrens hospital ', and you have one of the strongest foundations of love I have ever seen . You will get through this journey with great strength , courage and love .. I have always remembered those words .. " 
thanks for all the years of love Bades xox

I made a little pocket inside to hold tags with notes to myself ,  details and dates

I purposely used these deep purple/indigo/ Violet colors. I have studied color and the chakras ..
the energy centres of the human body. 

Indigo is the color of the sixth energy centre - your third eye chakra.
 It is the color that opens the consciousness and brings awareness to higher planes
and connects us with the spiritual world. 

Violet is the color of the crown chakra and it is the color of cosmic awareness and cosmic consciousness.

 It is a unifying color, the color of oneness and spirituality. 

The energy of this color is very healing and can soothe away pain. 

This may sound a bit corny, but it really was LOVE at FIRST sight with us …. 

Our connection was immediate .

Love is all that matters, Love is everything, 

it is the sharing of songs and the silences and the holding of memories, only the heart can see . 

In nothing are we as rich as in our memories of LOVE. 

For they are ours alone and tell our story..

 LOVE'S music  may be different to each of us but oh, how beautiful the dance.

 Thank you for all the beautiful years we have spent together and all the years ahead  xoxo
