Somebody's getting married!

Our dear friend is getting married and my 18 yo dd is a bridesmaid!  We are so excited for this wedding!  Here is the card I made:

 

It's hard to see on the card, but I cut out forever and put that on also.  I used the Spellbinders rose creations, labels,  and fancy fleur de lis frames as well as the my favorite leafy flourish. I also used the Cuttlebug embossing folder geometric rings. I adhered tiny little silver bling too...I hope she (they) like it! Here's to you Stef and Isaac!

Blog Candy chance!

Yummy blog candy opportunity!

Pinkpuds...here's hoping I'm a lucky gal!

Grad thank yous and one more card

This is an extremely belated graduation card for a friend's son.  I really like how it turned out.

This shows the graduation thank you cards I made for my graduate. I purchased the black tape long ago in the "squash book" section of a local store and found it absolutely perfect for these cards. The sentiment and cap are from dollar stamp sets.

 

And this is the sentiment I added to the inside.

My graduate!

Here's my graduate!  This is me, my graduate, and my mom.

 

These are the cake balls I made for her graduation open house.  The "smurfs" were really just green and blue, her two favorite colors together, but as soon as they were done, we both thought "smurfs"!!   Oh well.  The other ones were little graduates with caps.  The box is just a box...not a secret cake Ü

Another grad card

 My daughter's favorite color combo includes this bright green and blue together, so although her school colors are red and black, I thought I'd go with a card for her that was special.  I added glitter to the front (and now I have glitter everywhere!!)

 I used the spiral circles on the inside so that it pops up the little graduation caps when it is opened.  It's cute.  The grad cap is from a Studio G set that I've had for ages.

Graduation cards!!

I was really pleased with how these turned out!  I knew what I wanted to do with the inside...but it was the outside that I hoped would turn out...and I like them!!

I followed the tutorial from Carol of Extreme Cards and Papercrafting for her wonderful pop up graduation cap.  I LOVE it!

It was so well done, easy to follow, and I think I got spectacular results.  Love that she took so much time to get it just right and shared!!!

 I made nine of them and hope that's enough for some of my senior daughter's friends.

I used the EKSuccess Christmas tree border punch for the pennants...I use the negative and positive pieces to create the bordered pennant shapes. The scroll banner and front banner were made from the Cuttlebug Fanciful Labels.  The stars are from MFT.  I used the stars Cuttlebug embossing folder on the front background and hand cut the grad caps for the inside.  I hope to still add a tassel, but if I don't get around to it, I think it will still be great.  I stamped the "2012" with little alphabet/number stamps that I've had for eons.  They always seem to come in handy!  Hope you like them as much as I do!

She's a senior...
