It's Prom Night for my youngest son Ryan. I guess you could say that after all these years, my husband and I still think "romantically". lol You see we planned Ryan's evening for him and his date Taylor. We thought it would be nice to get them reservations at a restaurant in Jacksonville called Marggiano's. It's a classy Italian restaurant that we felt would make them feel good to go to in their formal wear.
So that is how this card was born to give to them when they got to the restaurant. I did it in shades of teal to match Taylor's dress. My husband and I couldn't help but think of the Lady and the Tramp while sending these two very dear children off on their big night.
This is the inside of the card. I have placed the words to the Bella Notte song inside the card. Everyone remembers that sweet romantic scene in the movie. Here are the words:On this is the night
It's a beautiful night
And they call it bella notte
Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte
Side by side with your love one
You will find the enchantment here
The night will weave its magic spell
When the one you love is near, Oh
This is the night
And the heavens are right
On this lovely bella notte!
Here is the inside with all the things that I made that slip out of the little holder where they can put pictures of their special night together. There is room for 4 pictures and journeling. I made this card in about an hour. We went to take pictures and before they left, I gave it to them and told them to open it at the restaurant. My dh and I signed it "May All Your Dreams Come True", Have a Happy Prom 2011.

This is too fun :) Loved Lady and the Tramp and what a thoughtful thing of you and hubby to do for the prom couple! Love it :) Sure they did too! Great picture of them and I'm sure they will love the card too.
Aw, Carol, this is so "you"! First, what a stunning couple, he looks ever so handsome and she is lovely and that dress is beautiful!
What a wonderful thing to do for your son and his date. I married my Prom date (100 years ago now) but that night stays in your memory forever and you have just added to that with your thoughtful and fun card and wonderful dinner gift. I'm sure your son knows how much he is loved and how precious his parents are.
Thanks for sharing this moment in your lives.
(Love lady and the tramp)
