Congratulations Graduate!

Good Afternoon! I am excited to be posting a graduation card for you all today. This card is a bit different than usual. It folds in half and adheres at the side and bottom so that you can slide the inside part in/out from the top. Tomorrow, I will post the inside portion so that you can see that too. Enjoy!

Set: Go, Graduate
Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, and Whisper White
Ink: Black Staz-on and markers
Accessories: Pumpkin Striped Grosgrain, 1" Circle Punch, Blender Pen, and Hole Punch

Don't forget to check back in tomorrow as I will be posting the inside of this card.

The Open Sea

Good Morning! A beautiful morning that it is looking to be. I made this card last evening for my nephew who turns 35 today! Yes, I was an aunt at 7 years old. Okay, now that you all know my age now, time to move on. This card features one of the NEW sets in the NEW Summer Mini Catalog. Also, I used the Coast to Coast set (retired) to stamp the lighthouse on the right side. Hope you enjoy it.

Go, Graduate

Good Afternoon. A beautiful, sunny afternoon it is! I am so excited to have fitted this post in to my agenda today! Enjoy.

Greenhouse Gala

Good Afternoon. Just so that you all know, each day I have an agenda. Blogging is on my agenda each day. Lately, some days it happens and some days it doesn't. When my children were younger, I thought it would be easier the older they got. Wrong! I am realizing that they require more time now than ever!

Today I am sharing with you a Get Well card that I made. I just love this printed paper! Hope you enjoy it.

Drop me a comment or send me an e-mail so that I know you are checking my blog and I will enter your name in my drawing. I have a couple of graduation cards to make so ... keep checking back to see when I have posted them!

Peach Parfait Square Duo

Yes, I am back! Thought you all lost me ... didn't you? No, all is well, just way too busy! As a matter of fact, last week we got baby chicks. Yep! 18 of them to be exact. They are keeping me busy. Also, I have been gardening and that is keeping me busy. Now, let me clarify that ... gardening in between the rain. It seems that when I am home, it is raining and when I go out, the sun comes out. So, I just told me dear friend (as I was leaving her house) that I was headed home and that was a sure sign it would rain. Thus, she is bringing her laundry in now!

Even though I have been quite busy, I thought I would share a card with you today. This card should be (as I am still playing around with it) one of our May class projects. Hope you can be there to get the details and make it. The next class will be held on Friday, May 20th. I am officially starting at 6 p.m., but if you need to come earlier, just let me know as I will be there a little earlier too.

Check back in tomorrow as I am hoping to post some new and exciting samples!
