Graduation

Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, I could be posting one for the next 24 days…but I won’t. I just could not resist doing another one for the CASual Fridays Challenge #90 -Black and White+ one color. I could not use yesterday’s baby card post since Dynamic Duos asks not to be entered with another color challenge- if I read the rules correctly? Anyhow, I was inspired to make this card from Marion Vagg’s card on the MUSE #6 Challenge:

I totally was in awe of Marion’s use of Washi tape. I have been seeing this everywhere and wanted to get my hands on some. Last week, my friend Sandy and I had a fun girls’ running around day, and I picked up some of this trendy Washi tape…and here I got to not only use it but also get dizzy looking at it:

My daughter who is home for college break woke up this morning and gave me the stamp of approval for this card! She loves blue probably because she has her dad’s beautiful blue eyes;) She asked me to keep this card to give to her boyfriend for his college graduation. It always makes me happy when she gets excited over one of my cards! Does it make you happy when you have worked on something and someone oohs and aahs over it? I used Freshly Made Sketch #68 and The Paper Players #128 that challenges us to make a card with Blue, Gray, and Yellow.

Here it is….
