May is here and so is GRADUATION.  I have some great ideas for you to say congratulations to friends and family in a very sparkly way! I told you these cards sparkled!  There's lots of bling going on here to celebrate the big day! The first card is the one I shared the other day that I made for my Dad's birthday.   I patterned the others after this one, just changed up the sentiments. On this one I used a retired set from last year, Hooray it's Your Day.  This particular sentiment really fit the bill for what I needed. The final card has another retired sentiment.  I used Perfect Pairings, it has a great bold "Congrats" in the set that says it all! All three cards have the same design, just different sayings.  This is an easy template for any type of event you need.  Just change up the greeting and add as much bling as you like! Speaking of bling, I've been working on my card set for the May Mini Session from Create with Connie and Mary. I am using NEW produc

Today I've got a couple ideas to share using the Hooray It's Your Day Project Kit.  In the past I've never really gotten into the kits that have been offered.  But this kit is different!  I LOVE.LOVE.LOVE it!  It's packed full of great supplies to make fun cards.  One of the big selling points for me was the exclusive decorative masks and the fun custom envelopes for the cards. It also has a matching stamp set that you'll need to complete the card ideas they have for you.  I love their card ideas, but I wanted to do something different, so today I have a couple of card ideas that use these materials but in a new way. This first card is similar to the one in the kit, I changed up the color and accessories a bit.  In place of a Daffodil Delight sponged background (the paper has embossing similar to the Sale-a-bration paper) I used Strawberry Slush.  I also stamped the "look who's turning" with Strawberry Slush to coordinate.  I kept the design of the tag
