For the Graduate

Gosh, I can't believe it's October!  I feel like I need to be working on Christmas projects - when I haven't even decided what I want to do for Halloween.  Then graduation days will be here before you know it.  YIKES!  Well, here is a cute graduation card with papers from We Are 3 - SunRise SunSet (behind the owl) and Canvas Dreams.  The owl is precolored and cut on my Eclips. My original plan was to make a small owl in relation to the moon in the SunRise SunSet - instead I cut him out big and bold.  woo Hoo!  I added a sentiment from We Are 3's Graduation set.

Bryan's Baby from Sheepski Designs

The gorgeous Bryan's Baby image from Sheepski Designs is available this month on The Outlawz Freebie Progressive challenge.  You can also obtain the image at Sheepski Designs. I've seen many gorgeous colors using this image, but I've gone with a basic tan (colored digitally).  The green/blue background is digital paper from We Are 3 (Alcohol Splashes), and I added a sentiment from We Are 3's Graduation set.

Power Poppy Blossom Challenge

It's Day 4 of the new Power Poppy Blossom Challenge - although I'm not using "Spring" flowers, I was already creating this card using Power Poppy's Black-Eyed Susan - so I'm feeling pretty good sharing this in the challenge.  There is so much inspiration from the fabulous Bloomies - it's mind boggling.  There's almost a month to go to get your entry in.  Wow!  Today I'm sharing a card using papers from the new Graduation collection from We Are 3.  They have lovely bright colors. 

I used the papers with the stars and "confetti" which are appropriate for all occasions.  The sentiments are computer generated.  While this card was created for someone who is very ill, I hope the beautiful bright colors will bring some joy for her and her family.

Graduation Caps

Our new release is Graduation (papers and sentiments) and Graduation Caps - I made a card using the gorgeous new papers available at We Are 3's Etsy shop.  Gotta love that We Are 3.  Just look at those gorgeous colors! from We Are 3.

I am particularly fond of the confetti pattern that can be used for all celebrations.  

Vintage Carnival

The patterned papers in this layout are from the Vintage Carnival Collection (We Are 3). The title is computer generated.

The design is inspired by the Sketch Challenge at Stick It Down.  This was loads of fun - such a great opportunity to use up scraps to make the radial design.  You must stop by Stick It Down to see the beautiful entries.  Then why not have a go at it yourself?  Stick It Down also has a wonderful two-page layout sketch.  There's still time to enter this month!

Graduation Owl Card

Hello, Everyone!  I'm here with a card starring Graduation Owl (Kadoodle Bug) and Brick Fire Station (We Are 3).  I am really in love with the colors of this paper collection.

Congratulatory Cards - Day 2

Good Morning, All!

Can you believe we are at the end of February? Wow, the year is just flying by!

For today's cards, I needed more congratulatory cards. The Sherlock Mouse digital stamp I used for these is from 2 Cute Ink. I used it both as a stamp and as an .svg file to glitter. I love using the burnished-velvet technique on .svg files...just a cool effect.

Graduation Cards

Well, either I'm early or late!  Kids are going back to school....and I'm just getting around to posting graduation cards I made in the Spring!
