Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad

I’m pretty sure that when I posted about my parents’ anniversary last year they had just returned from a trip to Italy. This year, surprise surprise, they’ve just returned from a trip to Italy.

I love doing this series, because I think Glitter Ritz lends itself particularly well to Christmas Cards. I’m working on designing all of the cards now, but I have …
