And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days

The title of this blog post is attributed to James Russell Lowell, an American poet (1819-1891). I felt a quote was fitting for this time of year. Don't ask me why though. So here we are mid-June and I feel like I've blinked and the year is half over. Time goes so fast and actually my birthday is coming up in 2 weeks. I won't tell how old I am but let's say I vaguely remember watching on TV the astronauts land on the moon...

Photo Scrapbook Anniversary Party Invitation by starstreamdesign
Use for any number anniversary celebration
This is an anniversary party invitation that's meant to mimic a page in a scrapbook. Two photos of the couple are used, one from their wedding or a time when they first became a couple. The second is a more current one. The photos sit on top of a parchment background with subtle writing and swirls. The words "love" and "marriage" slightly overprint the parchment-like background. Add the anniversary years at the top with customized party information below. Extra text such as directions or special instructions can go on the reverse or can be deleted to leave the back blank with just the parchment-look.
