Lovely Congratulations

Dynamo and I attended an engagement party over the weekend for some friends, and this was the card I made. As you can tell, I used my circle punch and the heart-to-heart punch! The cardstock is textured elegant eggplant and cranberry crush. I also used Jolly Holiday DSP. The sentiment is a portion of a jumbo Valentine's Wheel from Stampin' Up! I don't particularly care for the wheels as they come, so Dynamo makes me beautiful wooden blocks and I remount the wheels as regular stamps. I got the idea from Mary Fish, another demonstrator. She has an entire tutorial on her site about how to do this.

I've been plugging away at the order for 25 thank you/appreciation cards. I recently discovered that the majority of the cards will go to men, so I had to focus this second half on man colors! Here's number 11!

A little congratulations are in order

My nephew graduated high school recently and we wanted to send him a congratulations card. I had to go boy-ish of course. You never know if the guys like handmade or not, but I try! I thought it turned out pretty good.
