Graduation Card

Hi everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Sentimental Sundays! Our theme this week 'clean and simple'  Create a clean lined project and don't forget to add a sentiment.
 My nephew is graduating from high school next week and this is the card I made for him.

 I am really pleased at how this turned out *and* I whipped it up in no time! I cut the numbers out with my Silhouette Portrait. I used the Century Gothic font and made an offset to layer the black and red together. The awesome star border is an EK Success border punch and the mortar board hat sticker is from Jolee's.

Our amazing sponsor this week  is Fred She Said. They offer a neat selection of digital stamps and cutting files. Click on their button below to visit the store!

Friends Are Kind To Each Others' Hopes

Happy Saturday! We awoke this morning to heavy rain and lots of thunder! My little calico cat is in hiding somewhere under a bed and my dog is hanging out at my feet, trembling. Poor babies! I wish I could make them understand!
Today's card is for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge. They have a really great sketch and I just had to play!

I took a little creative license with it to suit the stamp and paper I wanted to use. All of the patterned papers are from the Porcelain Rose line by Kaisercraft. I can't resist a pretty bird! The stamp is by Inkadinkado. I stamped it in blue ink and cut it out. I added a little Webster's Pages trim to it along with some cream seam binding. The pink pearls and resin rose are the finishing touches.

Thanks for visiting me today! Have a great weekend!

Hey There...

Hey there my crafty friends! I hope this week has been great to you and everyone is doing well. I guess it's become a ritual every week to participate in the Mojo Monday Challenge. I can't resist their awesome sketches and I really enjoy having a jumping off point like a sketch when I'm designing a card.

I used My Mind's Eye papers and embellishments from the Up And Away line. The black and white ribbon is from Bazzil and the star is by Melissa Frances.

I rotated the elements of the sketch,but still maintained the landscape orientation. I mixed it up a bit and suited the sketch to the elements I wanted to use. I hope you can see the essence of the sketch!

I appreciate you stopping by today! I also want to thank everyone for their sweet comments and visits, you guys really keep me going and give me the will to create: I am so grateful to you! Have an awesome day!

Just Because....You're So Sweet

I didn't think I was going to make it,but I managed to create something for the current challenge at JustRite Stamps.The theme is sewing, so I was on a roll from yesterday's card and just carried my mojo over to this one!

I was looking through my paper stash and found this pretty paper pad from October Afternoon called Farmhouse. It has some paper printed with vintage looking button cards and one of them has 'just rite' printed on it! I also included various sewing and dressmaker elements in keeping with the theme.  I used a sentiment and frame from the Grand Sentiments set. Here is a closeup of the sentiment:
