Follow your dreams - -

Good morning!  Ack, it is Tuesday again...seriously how did we get to the last day of May?  Only 10 more days until my youngest son graduates from high school...what?!?  There is still so much I'd like to do but I'm not going to stress myself out so I'm sure something will have to be not quite homemade.  :)  Speaking of graduation and Tuesday.  I've made another graduation card with the Cap & Scroll E326 stamp from Great Impressions Stamps...check it out!
 I've used the sketch this week at CAS(E) this Sketch! to make this card and again, used my new t-square to make a frame (can you tell I love that thing?).  It seems like a perfect layout for a fun and simple layout with sequins and the stamp really being the star of the show.  Clean, simple, and perfect for a graduate!

I'm also adding this to the Make My Monday challenge which is Graduation,  Craft Your Passion Challenge which is Anything Goes, CASology which is a CAS design and Crafting When You Can challenge which is to Add Stars

Well, that is what I have to share with you today!  Thank you for stopping by and make sure you hop on over to the Great Impressions blog to check out and play along with our current challenge!

Flowers for you!

Hello friends!  I'm just amazed at how fast this month is going by!  Here it is another Tuesday and I'm back to share with you another card made with a fun Great Impressions Stamp.
Look at that adorable F631 Bear With Flowers!  He's bringing a pot of lovely spring flowers to the birthday girl!  I love the way the papers mimic the sky and ground with the blue and flowered papers.  I've also used the C458 It's Your Birthday stamp which I clearly love because I use it often!  I decided to mimic the dots on the orange paper but in brown on some of the other papers and I think it gave the card a fun, happy look!

Well, that is it for today!  I hope you'll stop by the Great Impressions Stamps blog to play along with our Blinged Birthday challenge!

I'm adding this to the following challenges:

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #413
Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes 
Make My Monday Challenge - Garden theme, I'm inspired by the flowers in the mobile garden.  :)

Reach for your dreams!

Hello!  It is Tuesday of what promises to be a very busy week for me though I'm excited to stop in and share with you a card I made with some wonderful Great Impressions Stamps!  You may, or may not know that my youngest son is graduating high school this year so I, of course, have some graduation craftiness to make...starting with this fun card!
Don't ya just love it?  Clean, simple, and a bit abstract in the coloring, don't ya think?  I've used two GI stamps the Cap & Scroll E326, and Dreams B180.  I used a Real Red cardstock base and a white for the layer.  The grid detailing was made with t-ruler that I purchased recently.  I like the look!  It may just be one of my favorite Great Impressions cards!

Well, that is what I have to share with you today!  Thank you for stopping by and make sure you hop on over to the Great Impressions blog to check out and play along with our current challenge!

Owllo!

Good morning friends!  Today is Tuesday so I get to share with you a fun card made with a Great Impressions Stamp!
There are so many times that I'm just looking for a 'hello' card and this super cute image is perfect!  This is called Owllo (G553).  I thought it would be fun to use blue paper up top of the card and then I embossed it with a cloud embossing folder.  The yellow scallop is reminiscent of the sun and then of course the leaf paper to ground it a bit.

Well, thank you for stopping by today!   Make sure you stop over to the Great Impressions blog to check out our current challenge!

Listen here...

Hello and happy Great Impressions Tuesday!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Thanks for stopping back by to see the fun card I made with Great Impressions Stamps this week!
Today I'm featuring a card made with a new stamp called Dog & Bird G534 and the Cloud Stencil.  I decided on no sentiment on the outside so I could use it for any purpose.  The papers I've had hanging around my craft room for awhile and are nice and bright so I thought they would be perfect!

Well, thank you for stopping by today!   Make sure you stop over to the Great Impressions blog to check out our current challenge!
