Tonight we are going out to celebrate my sister’s graduation and I made this card for her using this week’s sketch at Retrosketches, some Glitz Design papers, and a stamp from My Favorite Things. The polka dotted paper reminded me of confetti, which seemed like a perfect fit for this party!

The sketch is based on a card that Laurie made - hope you can check it out!

Hey there! Just stopping by really quickly to let you all know that the April Cloud9 Blog Hop goes live today at 10am and lasts through the 12th. I made my card today using the colors from this month’s inspiration pics and Wplus9 stamps, of course!

I’ve had a crazy week that included a whirlwind trip to Chicago on Friday and Saturday…all I can say is that I am SOOOO looking forward to a vacation soon. Hope all is well with all of you!

Hugs!!

I was inspired by the cake on the table in this photo, and drew inspiration from the colors as well as the circular shapes that have been placed at an angle on the cake. I started my card by cutting the colored strips 1.25″ in width and embossing the Damask Doilies images with clear embossing powder. I then embossed the sentiment from Super Star onto the embossing (I wasn’t sure if embossing on embossing would work, but it did!).

Then I got stuck. Really really stuck. I had no idea what to do with the panel. I tried at least 6 different things. At one point there was a bow, a tag, navy, teal, debossing with the Wplus9 chevron impression plate…texting with Laurie, Renee and Jessica…I even made another card with patterned papers and stitching, but came back to this one in the end. Maybe I will update later with that one, but I want to sleep on it first.
