Graduation

Hello and happy Monday, I really meant to share this post yesterday but as time would have it I didn't get around to it.  I really thought I'd have lots of time since DH has been out of town but for some reason I've been busier.  This is the last week in school for the public school localities and the last of the graduation ceremonies.  Today I am sharing a graduation card that I put together for my co-worker's daughter using her school's colors and a star embossing folder that I was recently gifted by one of my scrapping BFFs!  The sketch inspiration came from sketch #225 over at CAS(E),  I cut the cap using the Locker Talk cricut cartridge and the year using the Days and Dates cartridge.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon!

Congratulations

Hello and happy Friday and it's June!  We've enjoyed the sunshine and dry weather for the last few days but the ground is still wet in some places.  Today I am sharing a graduation card that I made using the school colors.  I used sketch inspiration from sketch #214 over at Atlantic Hearts,  a Darice embossing folder,cut the cap with the Locker Talk cricut cartridge, stamped the sentiment, added some twine and a button and the card was done!  I'm sharing this card for the First and Third Congratulations challenge over at Scraps of Color.  I am happy to report that I didn't buy anything craft related the entire month of May, I am shopping and using my stash!  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Graduation Card

Hello Friday, more rain today and a total wash out for tomorrow.  It's that time of year and of course I have procrastinated in getting my graduation cards done.  We went to a party on Saturday and I just gave the person a generic inspiration card which really wasn't a big deal because what matters most to the young people is the card contents!  Today I am sharing a card that I made sketch inspiration from sketch #120 over a Can You Case It?  I used paper from my stash, a Darice embossing folder and the cap cut was made using the Locker Talk cricut cartridge.  I hand wrote the year and stamped the sentiment.  This card will be going postal today to the son of one of my crafty friends.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

10K Ready

Today's LO will be included in DD's school album, it uses pictures taken just before they were about to participate in last month's 10k.  We were so proud of her as it was her first time participating in  a 10k and it rained; she really doesn't care for the outdoors!

The inpsiration for the LO came from the Desk to Done challenge #30 hosted by Tiare from Embrace Your Art.  I really wanted some running themed paper but I didn't have any and I couldn't find any at the three stores where I looked so I settled on some Get Your Game on Paper from Little Yellow Bicylce.  Even though this is another simple LO I used four different machines to cut the embellishments and lettering.  The stars are EK Success stickers and the bling Jolee's; which is an EK Success brand (something I recently learned). 

Last Day

Happy Friday, more social events this weekend so no time to play!  Today I am sharing a LO that I created as part of our daughter's middle school experience.  The LO uses pictures taken as we were about to leave home and of her running into the door of the school on the last day of school last week.  We have to do better next year with getting out of the house on time!  The sketch used is one of Tiare's from iClassygirl she shared it for us to use during last week's Friday Night Chat challenge over at Scraps of Color and I am also sharing this LO  for June's I Scrapbook, Therefore I Am challenge over at SOC too.  Have a great weekend!

Family Dance Party

Happy Friday, I am so sleepy.  I came into work late because I volunteered at my daughter's school and now I'm ready for a nap!  Today's LO is another LO for our reunion album and it is of our Saturday Night dance party!  I also submitted this LO for a challenge posted over at Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack.  The challenge was to complete a LO using only three colors of paper, a tag with a stamped image and a diecut.  All items used were from my stash that included three different cricut cartridges, an old stamp from the $1 bin at Michaels, some ribbon, a border punch and a button

Middle School

I am starting to feel a bit anxious as we have a full week of activities planned. This is the last week of school for our daughter and on Friday she'll have her culmination program for elementary school. This is a bittersweet time for me as these milestones are coming on way too fast. Today I am sharing a LO using pictures taken of our daughter when she went to shadow another student at the school we eventually chose for her to attend next year. We are gearing up for her culmination this Friday her last day of elemntary school and a jam packed summer. Where has the time gone, I can remember bringing her home from the hospital just like it was yesterday!

Hello Monday

Happy Memorial Day! Today I'm sharing another LO that I completed using a sketch from the Anytime, Anywhere Scrapbook Experience challenge being hosted by Tiare over at iClassygirl. Even though I'm not caught up on this challenge I feel like I'm making good strides. For this LO I used pictures of our daughter as she was presented a trophy for placing 8th in the Fire Safety Student of the Year Program for the city's 5th graders. We were so surprised and honored that she was recognized for her efforts and placed, her school also won School of the Year! I'm working on another LO using more pictures from this event.

First Day of School

Today I'm sharing the LO that I completed for my DD's first day of school last week. As stated before I only took the one picture of her standing outside her classroom. I can't believe she's in the 5th grade, she's growing up way too fast! This was the first year I made a card for her and put it in her lunchbox and she was quite surprised so I used it on the LO too.

Monticello

This is another LO for my daughter's 4th grade album, I can't believe the school is almost over and I'm almost done with the album. I have just a few more LOs and its complete! I have yet to finish her PreK and Kindergarten album, I have done grades 1-3 though.
