Congrats Grad 365 Cards challenge


All this week at 365 cards Shannon's Sentiments is sponsoring their challenges. Todays challenge is: 

Sometimes you have exciting news to share, and you just have to do it in a big, big way. 
That's what this challenge is about - just sayin' it right there on the front of your card.
Without a specific message, this is the kind of card you can leave blank on the inside ready for whatever big news lies ahead!

Well I didn't understand the  challenge as well as it is worded above and my example is not exactly what they had in mind but I'm going to show you anyway.
I did a graduation card with a big banner that is not gender specific and  could be used for any type of graduation.


I used the  striped pennants from the banner set called Shout Out. I used a gel marker in between the stripes and then inked the edges black. The paper that the borders is printed on has speckled glittery dots on it and I don't know who it is made by. The gel pen and all of the other paper is by Creative Memories, stamps by Stampendous and Recollections, embossing powder by Stampendous and ink by Versa Mark and Memento Inks.

So head on over to 365 cards and join in on the challenge where you can win a $10 gift certificate to Shannon's Sentiments store. I will be back tomorrow with another card for Tuesdays challenge.
I hope everyone is having a great Monday:)

Manly Monday is alive again

Welcome back for another Manly Monday card post created by Me:) This one I made for an 18-year-old young man (my friend's kid).


OK, so I didn't notice the swirls and flowers on top. But she gave it to him and I never heard any bad feedback from it. The fun thing about this card is the tag is from a set of chipboard stickers for dogs. Love it when you can use products intended for one thing, a totally different way:)
Happy Monday all. May the Easter celebration that occurred yesterday still shine brightly in your words and actions throughout this joyous beginning of the new week.
