Hannah's Graduation Gift Card




Thirty years after her Aunt, my niece Hannah graduates from my high school. My class was the first graduating class and we had picked the school colors, mascot, etc. when we were in 9th grade. So it was a joy working with those colors, to create her graduation card. It turned out simple but pretty utilizing the metal numbers and gigaNtic riCrAc. Of course I had to add some dots. The star (our mascot) was originally yellow but with some embossing powder and heat, it was quickly rectified. I really enjoy using the announcement for inspiration. I roughed up the edge of the white Bazzill to expose the blue leatherette paper underneath. I also love it when a card "feels" good. The and mixing the fonts really bought the metal letters to life

Hannah is such a beautiful girl, I can't wait to see where life takes her.

Graduation Time


I love matching the cards to their school colors - the inspiration on the "2010" was the book cover on Eat, Pray, Love

09 Christmas card


My only regret is that I didn't get them out earlier :( - ah well - it's the thought that counts right? Posh was the star of the card this year. I hoped to use a pic from our trip to Yellowstone but alas they weren't so good....

anyhow....I hope everyone had a great Christmas! BTW - the first person to sign my blog and say "Merry Christmas" back to me - even if it's in July - I'll send you a gift.

Sewing is so much fun now that I have a decent sewing machine. I really enjoyed adding the tulle to my Christmas cards.
