Ice Cream Graduation

A friend's little sister graduated from high school recently and I needed a card to house a Cold Stone gift card.  Here's what I came up with:

Used the SU bird punch, ribbon, and card stock.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms.  Lol, the husband had to help me tie off the little diploma.  I couldn't do it on my own! He held and I tied.

Used the retired SU slit punch to hold the gift card.  Then hand wrote the sentiments. 

Entering this in the following challenges:

The Ribbon Girls - Ribbon

The Shabby Tea Room - Teal, pink, brown

Krafty Girls - Mission Impossible (the husband had to help me tie the little diploma!)

Little Miss Muffet - Rainbows, clouds, or wings

'Till next time!

I know there are no jelly beans in this goody bag, but I really wanted to use this cute stamp by Scrappy Moms!!! :)

These Cadbury eggs are a favorite of mine and my bestie.  I bought a big 1 pound bag and put half of it in a cello bag (the other half I ate... muhahahahaha!)  The sentiment is another one by Scrappy Moms.  Really got a good use out of this stamp set!

Sending You Sunshine card for Ms. Pentoney

Madison over at Funky Cards is having a card drive for Ms. Pentoney, her high school English teacher.  Ms. Pentoney is on her 2nd round with cancer and she asked everyone in blog land to send one card her way so she can deliver Ms. Pentoney cards from all over the nation.  What a sweet girl with a sweet project!  So if you have some time or have a card in your stash, head on over to her blog and get involved.  There is still about a week left to get those cards to her!

I made this card with all SU! card stock and paper.  The paper was PERFECT!  On one side there are clouds and the other, water!  So I just split that into two and put it on the two halves of the card.  The sun is from Create a Critter and the hula girl I actually cut out from a business card I received. Sorry whoever gave it to me, I don't have your info anymore! LOL!  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms.  LOVE these stamps.  It stamped so perfectly!

Fantabulous Cricut summer sun challenge

More dirty watercolor and mail from Scrappy Mom's

More sympathy cards today and more dirty watercolor.  This digi is from Beccy's Place and she calls it "mum's flowers."  This looks like plumeria to me so I colored it pink because here in Hawaii we have pink and yellow plumerias. :) I like the pink ones.

I'm kinda silly and didn't match my pinks even though I have all the SU! colors.  I think I just had a brain fart from so many sympathy cards. 

On a happier note, my prize from Scrappy Moms came in the mail!  Woohoo! Check this out:

I do not own any of her stamp sets but these look like high quality H2O!   I can't wait to make a card with them.  I won the Spring Fling stamp set and spring is over but I'm thinking I could make at least one of these sentiments work.  And I'm really excited about the pink acrylic blocks!!!  It wasn't as pink as I thought it was going to be which makes it just pink enough for a pinkaholic to have but not too pink that it distracts from seeing your image.   And I dig the shape/finger grips!

Tomorrow I'm participating in an Autism walk.  Waking up early and super excited about it! :) Have a great weekend, my online pals!

'Till next time!
