My DH and I went on our first date the day after Christmas 1978; he picked me up that night in his blue 1962 VW bug. Every year on Dec 26, we celebrate the anniversary with a love token, card, date night, etc.. When I saw Betty's nugget box using a VW bug, I knew it was the one to CASE. She has excellent instructions on her blog. Thank you Betty!
Changes: I used blue, punched circles for the hubcaps to match hubby's VW, no stamping on the door. I feel a little shaky today, so I did not add the metallic accents to the bumper, mirror, etc, but I will do that another day in silver when I had a steady hand. I wrapped two nugget candies in DSP. I added my own idea of a trailing sentiment banner. I thought it was a fun addition, but it did make the picture taking a bit challenging.
The sentiment reads: No road is too long when you have good company.
Thanks Betty for sharing your wonderful creations with us and for inspiring my special project today. My DH will love it! TFL

AWESOME celebratory project for you two. I love all the personalization on this. Your trailing banner is great -- it reminds me both of exhaust from a tailpipe and the fun banner in Hershey's Kisses wrappers. And, the sentiment is perfection. Thanks for sharing the memories too -- Super fun and a wonderful box. Early congrats on your anniversary.
