WIBU to show off this the anniversary present I have made DH?

It's our first anniversary tomorrow which is paper, so have made a paper cutting for him. I'm super excited and want to show him NOW but I can't. It's pretty much plagiarised from one I saw on notonthehighstreet but they'd stopped making. Plus I couldn't afford to buy one even if they still did it... It's my first ever attempt at doing something like this and took me HOURS (and a sliced finger) and I'm ridiculously proud of myself Grin.

The words are from 'our' song. He's a soppy git so I think he'll love it but I'm a bit worried he's going to look at it and be like wtf are you giving me?

...although having just doubted myself and had a quick google, apparently paper is in the US and it should be cotton in the UK. Woops Blush. I won't tell him...

I thought paper was one year! I think cotton is second (at least, going by the presents my sister and her husband got each other for their wedding anniversaries.

It's really lovely, really clever! Well done you!

I did paper cutting at an hen do earlier this year and it is HARD. I am really impressed especially with the text. You should be really chuffed with yourself.

That is beautiful, I'm sure he'll love it. I also tried paper cutting at a craft party since and it was unbelievably difficult to cut without the angles looking all jerky, so you're very talented.
