Sketch Saturday #361 - Another Graduation Card

Happy Saturday friends!!

I'm still making Graduation cards for the 7 grads (now)

of our family and friends this year.  

I'm using the awesome new sketch at 

SKETCH SATURDAY #361

to make this one  - take a look:

I used some new Doodlebug papers and a digital image & sentiment
that's been in my stash for quite a long time. 

Don't ya love all the different shoes? I would be the one in the 

fancy high heels. Well maybe wayyyy back when - now I'd probably

break my neck if I tried to walk across a stage in them - LOL!

Back with us this week as our wonderful sponsor 

Bunny Zoe's Crafts

 and here's Sketch #361 (which you can see I 

rotated for my DT card above).

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
The Friday Mashup Challenge #209 - It's all about the Grads

I hope that you will decide to join us this week and share
your gorgeous work in our gallery with us!!
Til next time...hugs and happy craftin'! D

Catch the Bug Challenges - May Theme "In the Garden"

Happy weekend friends and followers! 

Hope each of you are doing well and enjoying your weekend :o)

Today I will be spending time with my Mom and
tomorrow my sweet daughter and I will spend time together.

It's time for another weekly challenge at 

CATCH THE BUG CHALLENGES

and this week the theme is "In the Garden".
I hope that you will find time to play along with us!

I chose the fun image called "JJ gardening" for my card today.

I  must admit that it nearly drove me batty not to have a 

sentiment on this card.  But...I just couldn't find one that I

felt fit so I decided to leave it off and now I can make it

whatever I want in the future.  Would make a good summer

"hello" or "thinking of you" card for a gardening friend.  

I had a garden years ago. My son was about 4 and he loved to pull 

the carrots and radishes out of the ground. He also liked to sneak 

the pea pods off the vines when I wasn't looking.   

I would really like to have a garden again sometime - 

nothing like homegrown goodness as far as I'm concerned.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create Challenge #122 Anything Goes w/optional twist Feminine
Brown Sugar Challenges #145 -  Layers

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #226 "Anything Goes"

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today!
Til next time...hugs and happy crafting! D
