From My Heart Anniversary Card

Gold, newsprint, and buttons are the combination of this card for a friend's 17th anniversary.  She's an English professor, and he's an American History author, thus the vintage newsprint!  One button for her, one for him, and a gold heart, all tied together with a gold strand.
A little closer...  That gold ribbon is the BEST.  I heard that at the Stampin' Up! convention, they said that gold is the new black.  That works for me!
These challenges are used for my card.  Click the pic to visit them!  

SUPPLIES
STAMPS:  From My Heart

    This is classic! I love how you created a charm effect by dangling the buttons ad heart on gold thread. Clever ad gives the card movement! Thanks for playing with the Paper Players!
