Manly Monday E=Mc2 Graduation card

This is a Craft Roulette card episode #259. The parameters were: a card with two folds, Math, and markers. The color parameter was Jelly beans.

My card is a matchbox card. The background, E=Mc squared stamp is by Deep Red Stamps. I stamped it with black ink and blended my background with distress oxides. The grad cap was made with my Cricut.

Weiner Dog sympathy card

Pet sympathy cards are hard for me since I lost my best friend in August. His name was Rusty and he was a beautiful Akita. He loved me more than anybody else. If I wasn't in the room he would go find me. I never knew that love before.
When Rusty died I received 2 sympathy cards. I was crushed. That being said, I don't want anyone else to feel like I did. When I hear of someone losing a pet I make a card and send it out. Therefore, I have a handful of pet sympathy cards to post.
I made this card by inking a rainbow of distress inks on a patterned paper. Then the circle was cut out with my Creative Memories cutting system. The dog stamp is by Gina Marie and the ribbon is by Martha Stewart.
Thanks for looking.
