Twinkle Twinkle, You're Our Star!

 

Almost forgot to share the card I made for one of my BFF's daughter's graduation.  The adorable Saturated Canary Grad Girl 2012 looks just like Hayley (and is a super bargain at just $2.00)

 

She's colored with Copics in the colors of the Dublin CA High Gaels.  the stars are Sticko stickers but I've done a little tut on how to make dimensional ones of your own HERE.  the scroll is from the Cuttlebug Fanciful Labels Emboss Plus folder. Numbers by a retired Cuttlebug alpha set, and star embossing also Cuttlebug.

 

The simple step card was done with my Spellbinders Labels Twenty eight.  We're so proud of our girl, heading of to the University of Colorado, Boulder this fall.

 

I'm entering this in the Simon Say Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge, Crafty Sentiments Designs Summer or Summer Colors (graduation is the beginning of summer for Seniors and red, white and blue means Memorial Day and July 4th in the US), Twisted Tuesday Red, White and Blue and Stars, Freshly Brewed Designs Red, White and Blue, Open Minded Crafting Patriotic Colors, and Craftin Desert Divas Red, White and Blue Linky Party.

Dilly Beans Black and Red

TGIF!  It's gonna be 70 degrees here today and I'm lovin' the thought.  Can't wait to get outside and soak up some sunshine.  It's also time for another fun Dilly Beans Challenge: Black and Red.  It's one of my fave color combos and what could be more perfect than the sweet #198 Framed ladybug girlie?  (scroll down to find her)  She's colored with Copics and I've added a little doodling and popped her atop a ladybug  and scalloped border done with punches from MS.  "Love" is from a freebie that came with my Cuttlebug eons ago and how could I not add Alpha Beads?  Pretty simple but I think she's a cutie.  Be sure to stop by Dilly Beans for more inspiration from my lovely teamies and come play along.

I'm also entering this in the Fresh Brewed Designs Feb Monthly Hearts and Dots Challenge.
