John is not the type to put me on the spot, but if he should ask, "Where's YOUR card?", I had better be in the gallery right? We have so enjoyed being the honored guests at the table. Thank you all so very much! John will love that I used some fabric (architectural tablecloth, perhaps) on the card. It's one of my goals to work with it more. This looks like a similar bridge we love, that is in Florence, OR. Though it's not a funny card, I know it will make him smile, when he lifts the fabric and reads the sentiment "You are AMAZING, remember that." The inside reads, "There's always a way."

Your card is wonderful and I love that image of the bridge. So creative to incorporate your fabric and the design is so appealing and "architectural". But as cool as your card may be, the sentiments you have placed in this are stellar. He's a lucky guy to have a loving, caring partner like you. Continued prayers for you both. And a bunch of hugs.

Lori your card shows your love and admiration for John, I love the fabric you've used made me think about an Indian plaid too or Aztèque (I don't know how you call that in English)

That fabric is so architecturally beautiful and perfect for the rendered drawing of arches. Our bridges along the Oregon coast are wondrous examples of man’s imagination, symmetry, and talents. You certainly nailed this for your John! Keep those ideas coming, neighbor.

I've been teary the past few days, don't know why, tears came again when I read your description. Such love you have for each other! Maybe I'm crying for myself. Welcome to your own tea party! That would be funny is John asked where your card was. Good thinking!

What beautiful fabric. The texture in this must be lovely. I like the slightly frayed edges. Beautifully image. It reminds me a lot of vaulted cloisters in some of the old French abbeys.
