Eat Cake!


 This sweet House Mouse stamp is called "Eat Your Cake & Nap Too"....it has lived in my craft room for many years & has graced the front of a lot of birthday cards. That little mouse looks oh so comfy after munching down on the yummy cake. The image is coloured with copic markers; DP is Recollections & CS is Bazzill. The birthday balloons are from a Simon Says Stamp set (Oh, Gnome) I cut them out & coated them with Glossy Accents. The dies are also from Simon Says.

Graduation Time!


Our granddaughter Jessica just graduated with honors from high school & received a university scholarship to the Faculty of Physical Education. Needless to say we are pretty proud grandparents! This Mo Manning image was perfect for her card....it even looks a bit like her! (You can find her here) Due to COVID restrictions the grad ceremonies were very restricted....no gathering allowed. There was a stage set up in front of the school & each grad was assigned a time to show up to receive their diploma. They weren't able to have a dinner & dance to celebrate with their classmates. Tough times! Jessica has 2 best friends that she has gone to school with right from kindergarten so they got all dressed up in their beautiful dresses & had pictures taken any way. They were so lovely!


                                                             (Jessica & proud Grandma!



                                                                    

                                                         ( BFF's.....Jessica is in the red)

                                                         
So, about my card. The image is Mo Manning's Grad Girl with Rose which is coloured with Copics. I made an easel card using Prism dark green cardstock & the beautiful DP is "Graduation" by Reminisce.
The grad cap holding up the easel is a sticker also by Reminisce. The "Congrats" is an Impression Obsession die cut from gold shiny CS. The lacy frame dies are from Simon Says. If you look closely you will find a little silver grad cap charm attached to the green lace frame.
