Congrats!

I needed to make another graduation card recently so I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!.  I'm almost too late in getting it posted.  My dear hubby has been trying to fill up his new found free time (no more summer travel ball anymore) so he's been working on re-landscaping our yard.  Front AND back!  For some reason, he thinks I have this same new found free time and I want to spend it working in the yard.  So I spent Sunday going to the nursery and then planting several new bushes that we brought home with us.  I have to admit - it does look pretty good.

It is really nice to work on projects together like this but I don't want it to take up ALL my free time! I NEED my scrap therapy!  Anyway, on to my card......


This was quick and easy.  I used bits of paper from the Claire Paper (X7166B) pack layered on Outdoor Denim Cardstock.  The "Congrats" was stamped with Outdoor Denim ink and the Cocktail Alphabet (E1015).  I used Natural Bakers twin from the Mini Medley Accents Wooden Collection (Z1837) to tie it all together.

Here is the sketch I used:

Thanks for stopping by!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
