Congrats Grad!


Hello there friends...I'm popping in quickly to share a card for no particular challenge.  I have been looking at all of the challenges over the last week or so, but simply haven't had the time or energy to make it down to my craft room to make something new.  So I've popped through Picasa to look for cards that I have yet to post. I need a couple of more graduation cards and I thought you might need some inspiration too!  We have four graduation parties this year (yes...we're hitting that time in our life when we've moved from baby showers to First Communions/Confirmations to graduations).  I'm sure in about 5 to 7 years we'll be going back to wedding showers!  Life is good though...so no complaints.

I will be a bit more sporadic on posting over the next week or so.  

And for those of you who are interested....I am managing to run/walk.  Here's my recap from last week:
Sunday:  3.21 miles/10.44 min/mile; - went a mile longer
Monday:  2.6 mile walk with my great friend, Katie; 16.31 min/mile
Wednesday:  2.31 mile; 10.01 min/mile - almost broke the 10 minute mark
Saturday:  2.32 mile; 11:31 min/mile - an early morning and allergies got the best of me

Hope you all get your week off to a great start.

Ingredients:  The Craft's Meow and CAS-ual Fridays stamps

A super cool CAS design Lynn, just what you need by the sounds of it :0)

Ooooh, what a fabulous graduation card! The two colors you picked for the chevron background for the sentiment work so well together, and that panel itself complements the "flicked" background of the card so nicely!
