Congrats Grad Tag

Today I have a fun tag to share which I created to add to a gift for one of my coworkers.  She is actually the division secretary who has been working 2 jobs and is finishing up her Bachelor's degree. I am so amazed how she was able to juggle school and work so I wanted to give her something to celebrate her accomplishment.

The oversized tag was cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge and layered with the Lucky Scallop Whispers Doily from Die Versions.  I trimmed off part of the doily for a better fit on my tag.  The graduate was cut form the Paper Dolls Teen Scene cartridge and her face was stamped with the Peachy Keen Fashionista Face Assortment Stamps.  I created a small clipboard for the sentiment which was stamped with the Scrappy Moms Fun Celebrations (retired) stamp set.  My tag was finished off with some Black Licorice Trendy Twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a fantastic day!

Graduation Card

My daughter is graduating from high school this week and this is the card I made for her.  The graduate was cut from Paper Doll Teen Scene and the "2013" was cut from Don Juan.  I used the Peachy Keen Princess Faces Stamp Set for the face with some chalk for the cheeks.  Some silver Stickles were added to the shoes and to create a necklace.

The tassel was created with Holly Trendy Twine and the rolled up diploma was also tied with the same twine.  I added a paper clip with a hand cut tag and stamped an "A+" from Docerela Stamps.

Let It Snow Layout

This layout was created using the Paper Doll Teen Scene cartridge for the dolls and the Winter Frolic cartridge for the title.

I used some die cuts from my stash to create the border around the first page and used the coordinating piece on the second page by cutting it in half.

 

Using my Gypsy, I hid the faces of the dolls and used the Wide Eyed and Princess Peachy Keen Face stamps for the dolls.  I added some chalk to their cheeks and a a little bit of color to the eyes and lips.

The large snowflakes are punched from the Martha Stewart Himalayan punch and accented with bling centers.

I braided some Black Licorice Trendy Twine to create the scarf for the girl and wrapped it around her neck.  She looks pretty trendy with the twine scarf.
