As We Commence...

'Tis the season to be graduating.  My parents are going to an open house this afternoon, so this is a card I put together for the graduate...

I love these Basic Grey papers!  Love, love, love :-)

Thanks for checking out my blog!

The Internet is Back... and Other Fun News!

I wish I could say I wasn't addicted to the internet, but it's been completely gone for a whole day and the wireless has been bonkers for a week and I wasn't sure I was gonna survive. LoL.  I was about to leave for the local coffee house when the computer tech guy finally got it working.

Also, while we're on the subject of good news, I just found out last night that I get to be on the DT for Scrap It With A Song!  This is the first design team I've been on and I'm really excited about it. Make sure to check it out-- I think it's gonna be fun :-) **Dances around**

Today I have three cards to show y'all...

This first one is for Day 51-Tuesday's Trio.  The challenge was to use three things:  A stamp, alpha stickers and the color red.

It's kinda funny because it didn't turn out even close to the picture that was in my head when I started making it. Haha.  But it's pretty.  The plan was to use it for a friend's graduation card, but really, it's elegant enough to use for a wedding card too. Hmm....

The challenge for today is Day 52-Save the Date. Typically these are used for weddings, but I'm not getting married anytime soon, so... yeah. :-)  How about we have a girls night instead?

Now that I made this, I think I need to actually plan a girls night so I can use it! 

Lastly, here's another baby card I made.  I really like this one too... now I don't know which one is my favorite!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

Tassels and Mortarboards

Okay, I have to confess something. It's terrible. I was unprepared, so I had to do something I said I would never have to to again...

I bought a card. At the store. *sigh* I went to two graduation parties this weekend, and didn't have any graduation cards in my stash. For the first party, I at least had a cool generic card that would work just fine. But I didn't have time between Saturday and Sunday to make another one, so I had to buy one. But I made sure I bought something that I'd never make myself... I felt like that might somehow justify what I was doing. Haha.

Anyway, needless to say, my projects for today are an attempt to make sure this doesn't happen again! Lol. This first project is for 365 Cards' challenge to use five squares. I kept this one pretty simple, but I like it.

Here are a couple more with caps and tassels...


And lastly, here's a project I did just for fun. I have a few of these boxes sitting around and I've been wanting to decorate them. I thought this turned out really pretty :-)
