Hats Off to You


Hi everyone!  Lots of birthdays, anniversaries and graduations are being celebrated by family members and friends in May.  So I have been busy trying to get a jumpstart on some of the cards I need to make.  Here's a graduation card for my nephew using the Mojo Monday Sketch 188 (MOJO188).  I also had fun playing with some new toys -- my new Cricut to make the mortarboard (which I paired with a Doodle Pantry sentiment from the Floral Hats set), and a new Cuttlebug embossing folder.   

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Mojo Monday #88 -- sketch
Creative Friday Challege  #42 -- open theme
Delicious Doodles Challenge #22 -- anything goes
Simon Says Stamp! Challenge Blog -- Emboss it

Have a fantastic day and thanks so much for stopping by!

    This is a gorgeous Grad card. That Mortorboard is fabulous and love the blue with the touches of gold. The white embossed back panel is great.
