Happy Sunday, peeps! Hope your weekend is going well so far! Laurie is our Paper Players hostess this week with a fun sketch:
I love sketches! I happened to need a graduation card for a young man in our church, so this was a perfect way to put this sketch to use! He graduated from the same high school I did, and our school colors are maroon and gold, so I got out some Merry Merlot and Bumblebee products and went to work:
The sentiment is from Hand-Penned Petals, diecut with the Tasteful Labels die. Easy and fun!
What will you create with this sketch? Check out what the DT made at the Paper Players blog, then share your creation with us too! Thanks for popping by today!
Yesterday was to have been Cassidy's birthday party, but due to her fractured ankle, they decided to put up a tent and have a drive-by! Her friend Ben came over to hang out with her, and here they are posing with one of her favorite gifts...a giant squirt gun. She'll have to wait until her ankle heals to use it though!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne this is just perfect! I know he will love this special card in the school colors. That big star and embossed background is fabulous! I am so very sorry about Cassidy's ankle. How painful! I will pray for a speedy recovery! Have a great week, My Friend!

ReplyDeleteI adore maroon and gold together, LeAnne! Such a perfect graduation card! I am so sorry to read that Cassidy had to have a drive-by Birthdy party, it will definitely be one that she will remember though. They both look like awesome kids. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great grad card! Love the subtle letters embossed in the background and you can't beat using the school colors for personalizing! Sorry to hear about Cassidy's ankle! Hope it heals quickly and painlessly! Hope you're having a fantastic week so far!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a simple idea yet so effective LeAnne! I love the embossed background and star and so fun that it can be personalised to the college colours - I'm sure the grad in question will love it!
