Graduation 2015

A whole bunch of my very favorite crafters in the blogosphere have come together for an awesome challenge blog.  This week's theme is 'Congrat's Grad' and is open for interpretation.  I have two family members graduating this year, so it was great motivation for me to make some grad cards!

 I want the basic concept of the card to be masculine, but I added a little glitter and glam to the second for a touch of femininity.  

To get those glittered numbers, I simply mixed in (a ton!) of glitter with my simply pressed clay before putting it in the molds.  The grey color came from the glitter-no added color needed!

3 posts in the last 4 days... I'm feeling productive!  Come back soon because I have more planned for later this week.

Thank You from Baby

I got a lovely package in the mail Saturday. I knew from the Washington return address that it was from my family- and mail from my family is my favorite type of mail. This kind of special occasion warrants a special thank you, so I sat down at my craft desk right away to design the perfect card to send back to them.

It had to be from my baby, Alexader- since the package was full of gifts for him- immediately I was drawn to the Zoo Babies stamps I have been looking for an excuse to use. Aren't they just adorable with the Alphabet Press embossed background and gold stars?

In would be excited to get a card like this in the mail! I bet Grandma will too!
