Graduation Card...

Oh I have so many cards to do this week and this is not really one I need to make desperately, but when my new Leere Aldrich stamp arrived from Crafts U Love I just had to have a go at making a card for Laura's graduation in June.

I'm embarrassed to say that my daughter is a Paris Hilton Pink Person - yuk! She will love this image of a girl graduating with lots of bling, pink accessories and perfect pooch! Well at least I hope she will!

The card is also for the ABC challenge where we have reached the letter J and the team are focussing on 'Jagged Edges'. I hope my punched jagged edge counts - I must admit my first attempt at this card was more jagged as it had a few different punched layers, but sad to say it had a fatal accident in the trimmer and was sent to a better place.

Oh alright then it went in the bin, but don't tell anyone I'm wasting good card.

I would have entered this for another challenge, but discovered that they have restrictions and only accept cards done exclusively for them. How do you feel about that? I find it annoying and tend not to enter at all. I really can't see the point of not being able to combine challenges, but hey ho that's just me.

Graduation card - for a fella!


The challenge on http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/ was to make a card for 'the fellas'. There were all kinds of things I wanted to try and may still - time permitting, but when I started following the sketch on http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/ this graduation card seemed to fall into place. That does not happen to me often!!!

The 'congratulations' paper is by DCWV and is from one of their fabulous paper stacks. The actual circle is a CD but it's not showing up too well on the photo. The black half of the circle has been embossed with the spots cuttlebug folder and on this particular black card it punctures the card slightly allowing the white back to come through but I quite like the effect so have kept it out of the bin!

The 'Congratulations' stamp is a clear stamp from Autumn Leaves in the range designed by Tia Bennett. Mine came free in a 'thank you ' bag with an order from one of my favourite American craft sites - Bargain Garden - see link in side panel. Amazing stamps at amazing prices and you get gifts with your order too!!! Please don't buy everything if you do visit though will you?

The space at the bottom will be used to place a name to personalise the card when I know who it's for.


Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
