What a fun inspiration site Kia found. After going down 50 rabbit holes and pinning 30+ pictures, here I am several hours later with my card....lol. You know it is a good site when you are lost in Pinterest for awhile.
I needed a Valentine for hubby and I collect old cameras so here we are. This picture is my inspiration:
This is especially meaningful as my husband saved me last Sunday taking me to the hospital even though I told him I would be ok....they said I probably would have had a stroke if he hadn't taken me. God and my Mom knew exactly what they were doing when they got us together. I am feeling much better today - actually better than I have in weeks. Yay!
Can't wait to see the direction the rest of you went in.

Oh goodness Nancy, how scary....you were very lucky to be with the right people. What a splendid card for him. Old cameras are so cool, wish I still had my first one.

Wow, Nancy, I'm so happy your loved ones listened to the spirit and got you the help you needed. It sounds scary but I'm glad you are okay now. Your card is fabulous with all its beautiful layers. After all your hard work, you created the perfect balance with your fun layers. Your well deserving husband will love it.

Glad to hear things turned out well for you. Love, love your vintage card with the cameras. I collect them too. Your sponging and corrugated paper are a perfect complement to the cameras. Hugs and take care.
