Happy Graduation!

Happy Friday!

Today I get to show you a fun little project using those fabulous Joy's Life Stamps!

This week the design team is showcasing projects that center around graduation. My "baby" is graduating from high school this year so this project was bittersweet for me. I'm so proud of him but I also wish I could turn back the clock and make him little again.

I decided to make a banner for his graduation party.

I cut all my banner pieces out of the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge at 5.5" each.

The font came from the Pooh Font Set Cricut cartridge. I cut each letter with it's shadow at 3.5"

On each of the ends, I decided to put little grad caps on action wobbles

The caps came from the Locker Talk Cricut cartridge and were cut out at 2.5".

For the middle, I just used some dimensional fabric stickers from Jolee's Boutique

Underneath each of the grad caps on each end, I stamped the sentiment "Happy Graduation" from the Everyday Occasion stamp set from Joy's Life

Cooking With Cricut Everyday In May

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having a great weekend and has a safe and fun Memorial Day!

Today's project was made for the Cooking With Cricut Everday In May! My neighbor's daughter is graduating from high school next month and she asked me if I could make a banner for her. Her school colors are red, blue and gold. I had so much fun making this and she loved it!

Here is a picture of the whole banner:

And last but not least, details of the embossing and the letters popped up:



The banner pieces were cut from Twinkle Toes at 6". The letters were cut from Pooh Font at 3". The graduation hats were cut out of Wrap It Up at 1.5". The "Class Of" was cut from Wild Card at 8" and the "2011" was cut from Lyrical Letters at 1.5".

Thinking Of You

Here is the card I made for the My Pink Stamper Challenge (Pink, Green and Black). I had so much fun playing along. I have never worked with this color combination before so this was quite the challenge for me, but I think the card came out so cute! I just love it! I wanted Piglet (cut at 4") to hold a flower, so I free hand cut a stem out of my scrap green paper and attached a prima flower to it. Voila! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in and take a look!
