4CCC-90 {Graduation}


What a great week this has been!  The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and we are looking at a LONG WEEKEND!!  WOOHOO!  Now, normally we will take off and go visit my parents for the weekend but not this weekend...no siree!  This weekend is my first 10K run of the season.  ACK!  My fellow Chick, Lori, and I are going to run this one together.  I will admit that I haven't been diligent in my training so not looking to have a smoking time but I *am* looking forward to spending the time with my peep. :)

But you came to see my card, right?  This week's 4 Crafty Chicks' hostess-with-the-mostest, Tamie, has challenged us to make a graduation-themed card/project.  I don't usually make grad cards so this was fun to do and now I have one on-hand "just in case."

For my card I used this lovely inspiration photo from Crazy 4 Challenges as well as Jen's May Sketch For You to Try.  I loved the colors in the bowl of balls and all of the different patterns really jumped out at me.  For Jen's sketch, I flipped it on it's side, used an awesome Verve sentiment, and there ya go:




Thanks for stopping by today - hope you all enjoy your weekend, wherever you are!!  If you have time to stop by on Sunday, please do. I am so excited to be Karen's Guest Sweet Stamper over at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge this time around!  It's a fun one.  :)  Later, skaters!
