Graduation Celebrations - Happy Thoughts

Hi again - I'm back with a second post for the day.

We had a whopping six graduates this year between our

family and friends.  I was wayyyy behind remembering

that this was coming up (and honestly kind of shocked

because I still can't believe that some of these young

people are "old" enough to be graduating) and hadn't made

the cards yet.  So I started with some fun themed papers 

and looked for some sketch inspiration that would help

me keep the design fairly quick and easy to replicate.  

Here are two of the cards I made - both using the 

currently weekly sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, 

papers from my stash and two awesome stamp sets 

by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps called YOU'RE A HOOT

and HAPPY THOUGHTS (sentiments).  

I've included a close up of each card too

I'm entering these cards in the following challenges:

little red wagon Challenge #552 - Patterned Paper or Make 

Your Own Patterned Paper.   Mine is of course

the actual kind pulled from my embarrassing large

patterned paper stash.  I bought several sheets of this 

6 years ago and am now down to two 12 x 12 sheets left. 

and Freshly Made Sketches #438 where I found

my inspiration for the design. 

Thanks for letting me share with you again today! 

Hope the rest of your week(end) is lovely. D
