SHS 2011

Lots of graduations this weekend in Maine, so it is only fitting to share this graduation layout that sports school colors from Core'dinations Vintage Collection.  It is one of my favorite collections!

I did lots and lots of sanding with my Sand It Gadget.  I wanted the color core to really pop on the edges of the mats, along with where I embossed and scored.  It allowed me to add dimension without having to add more layers.

You can see how awesome the Core'dinations Color Core looks in this up close photo!

Lily's Graduation Card

Please don't mind the quiet of my blog this week.  Last night was my baby girl's 8th grade graduation.  Lily has been blessed to go to the same school since kindergarten. A small school in which she has had most of her classmates for just as long and a few since their preschool days.

Lily is an amazing young woman!  She is strong and smart and sports driven.  She is cute to boot!  Last night she won an award that encompasses all of that.  We are so proud of her!!!

I made a card for her graduation.

This cute card is a lift of another cute card.  I wish for the life of me I could remember who made the original so I could give her credit for the inspired cuteness.

Supplies:

Core'dinations Cardstock

Studio Calico Chipboard Heards

Hero Arts Bicycle Stamp

Purple Onion Sentiment Stamp

Ranger Archival Ink

American Crafts Jute

Congratulations to my baby girl!!!!  

Cap & Gown 2011

I don't know about you, but I often find traditional activities such as sports, holidays and graduations a little more difficult to scrap.  Part of it is my need to keep my style in tact while doing an event justice with paper, glue and ebellishments.  I have pulled out the pictures in this layout several times over the last few month and have just put them away uninspired. 

This time I pulled out the pictures with a couple different lines of paper from Scrappin' Sports & More.  

Viola! Perfect!
