You're #MYHERO

I was really tickled to get the "SUPER" Stamp Set from The Cat's Pajamas.  My first thought was Father's Day, given that it's around the corner. But, when I started thinking about the layout of my card, I realized that there are people that are heroes for so many reasons.  (Especially in the last year.)

I wanted to make a quick card today, so I used some super cute Washi tape as my background. 

I think it may be a bit busy now that I am looking at it more.  But, I still think it's super cute!  I tried stamping the sentiment in white onto the black card stock. It kind of got lost. Clean cut lines on the white paper, wouldn't have fit with the theme.  So I tore the edges. 

I even tore some more paper and put it inside the card for a message later.

Overall, for a quick card, I think he's pretty cute!

Graduation Season

I have realized that my life has happened in seasons. 

First you go to all your friends' weddings.

.....then baby showers

.....then birthday parties

......and now it is the season of graduations.  

I suppose the next season will be all those babies getting married. 😢💕 Oh to be young and have the whole world ahead of you.

One of my favorites is graduating high school.  I absolutely adore Wryn from TiddlyInks.  I tried to go with the school colors for her cap and gown.

To create this card, I used the following:

Sometimes Thank You Isn't Enough

 Do you have that one friend that loves you enough to listen and help you be logical in your most emotional moments? We all need one! I just had a good "couch session" with my unpaid therapist, and it made me think of this adorable stamp set from Stamping Bella.  They have the CUTEST gnomes! 

I fell in love with the paper, and colored my gnome friend to coordinate. I used the following to put it all together:
