Congratulations and Graduations

Anastasia is back!  She has shared one of her graduation projects.  And it is filled with a graduate's favorite gift.

Such a nice project.  I can see making several of these.  And when Christmas comes around - you could use this with different paper and a different sentiment for Christmas gifts.

Thank you for stopping by the blog.  Tune in tomorrow for another graduation project.

Have a great day and where ever you are - be there.

Galatians 2:20  I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Congratulations Graduates

This week's blog theme is all about graduation.  I made boxes for collecting cards at a graduation party my friend was having for her two daughters.  Several people at work saw the boxes when I brought them in for her and decided they wanted boxes for their graduates too.

So I set to work creating these boxes.  I did most of the leg work while I was sitting in my chair watching television.  School colors, school mascots, creating cut files for my Silhouette, etc.

Here is the result of my labor.

I color coordinated the box to match the school logo.

To create a matching card, I resized the school logo to a size that would fit on a card.  And I added a graduation cap.

In order to hide the rough edges of the opening I created a paper border in my Silhouette Studio software.

And a video:

Psalm 51:1 - 2  Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love;  according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.  Wash away all of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

The Tassle was Worth the Hassle

This week's blog theme is Graduation.  It's that time of year and I spent some of my Saturday working on graduation projects myself.

I'm going to show you what Diane was up to this weekend and save my projects for tomorrow.

She made some cute graduation cards using her Silhouette Cameo.  The Design Number from The Silhouette Design Store is 56665.

And the finished product.

Love the way these turned out.  Think about using the colors of the school the graduate attended when creating your graduation cards.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for some more graduation projects.

Have a great day and be inspired.

Romans 12:3  For by the grace given me I say to every one of you:  Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

Keep on Coloring

I was successful the first day of the 30 day coloring challenge on The Daily Marker.

I also have a card to share that I made for a friend that graduated with his Masters from the University of Illinois.

First my coloring.  I used my Spectrum Noir colored pencils and a digi:

Here is the card that I made using my Silhouette Cameo:

I plan on coloring again tomorrow.  Tune in for WOYWW tomorrow.

John 3:18  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

Graduation Cards - In Color

I've been making graduation cards recently.   It is the season for graduations.  So I decided to personalize graduation cards.  How do I do this?  By finding out the name of the school they are graduating from and finding out their school colors.

Here are two cards I made that way:

I made these cards for a guy or a gal.  I hope they enjoy the card that is in their school colors.

Here are the products I used to make the cards:

Maybe you can create some graduation cards using the official school colors of your graduate.

Thank you for stopping by the blog.  Have a great day and be inspired.

1 Timothy 6:12  Fight the good fight of the faith.  Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Fun Fun Fun

A friend of mine from work has 2 girls graduating from college this year.  She asked me to make their graduation cards.  I am really excited at how they turned out.

I also made boxes for the cards they will receive during their party.  And now I have 3 more orders for boxes!  :-)

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  I hope you found some inspiration.  Tune in next week for a new theme.

Colossians 3:15  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.
