All Dressed Up Challenge Time!

Hi All! It is All Dressed Up challenge time! Join us over on the All Dressed Up Facebook page for Julys FB Challenge. This month the theme is “Anything You Want”. I used “Happy Holiday”. I chose Happy Holiday for my Anything You Want, because I want some beach time!! FYI, there is actual sand on my card. What is your ‘anything’? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Yes! I used my Mudd Puddles sand mix. It’s so fun and adds loads of dimension.

Another clever graduation card!

Hi All! I’m back with the other graduation card I was asked to make. This one for a man getting his Masters in Architecture. As I was searching for digital images I found most were geared to kids, tween and teens. Not so much for “Adults”. I found this awesome image with stacked books. The only problem was that it has this cute little mouse hanging from the tassel, not very manly…… But I printed and colored the image anyway. Still thinking the mouse had to go. If this was a physical stamp I could have just blocked that part of the stamp. I had to find a way to cover it up and keep with the theme. After a day, it hit me! A little house would be perfect. Now, on with the Show & Tell…

Here is the card with the house! .
