Reach for the Sky

Happy Monday! Just popping in with my entry for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.

This week's challenge is to use buttons & twine on your project. I used mine to accent the sentiment, which I think goes very nicely with the clouds & the Echo Park paper.

Hope you like it!

Miss Smarty Pants

My niece, Mollie, graduated from my high school alma mater this week. We're having a big bash tomorrow to celebrate, and I'm sure she'll be more excited about the $$ on the inside of this card than the design on the outside!

I'm really excited for Mollie because this fall she will be moving to my town to attend my college alma mater AND she's becoming a teacher just like me (and her mother, and her grandmother, and her other aunt, and...yeah, we come from a long line of teachers). I've already promised her some home-cooked meals and occasional laundry service.

Ink: Night of Navy, Garden Green

Accessories: Cuttlebug Argyle, corner rounder punch, Nestabilities circles & scalloped circles, dimensionals

Congrats to the Grad!

My niece, Maggie, graduated from college last weekend, so I made this congrats card for her. Her school colors are purple and gold, but I just went with purple. I don't like gold much, and when I sat down to create, I realized I don't even own any gold supplies. Hope she likes it.

Maggie's sister graduated from high school last night, so I'll be posting another congrats card for her in a day or two.
