Totally Tess Graduates

Well we made it back from Ohio.  Steve and Jess said the Tim McGraw concert was great and they had really good seats.  Ryan, Myer and I also had really good seats - at the movie theater.  We went and saw Rio.  It was a cute movie and the boys were really well behaved.  Myer does a great job of watching the movie and he's only two.

Here's a grad card I made a few weeks ago.  This one is a 5x5 square card.  I used Concord Crush and Daffodil Delight on this card as our school colors are purple and gold.  In our area graduations are anywhere from mid to late May depending on how many snow days we use.  We seemed to use a lot this year.

Thanks for looking,
Kim

April Stamp Club Projects

Here are the projects we did at our stamp club this past Thursday. The pictures still aren't the greatest, so I apologize for that. I do have written instructions for these in a word document, so if you are interested in that, just send me an email.



The first card uses the stamp set Year After Year and the matching wheel, which is part of the wheel special offered this month. If you buy certain stamps sets, you get the matching wheel for free. Check out the link at the side under specials for more details. I used Elegant Eggplant and Summer Sun for this card as purple and gold are our school colors. We used the Watercolor Crayons to color in the graduation cap. We also used the distressor tool on one of the layers. To help fill in the bottom corner, I used circles punched out with the 1/4" punch. This would have been a good spot to put the graduation year "08", but I didn't have a current number set small enough.
This matchbook style card opens up to reveal a package of Lemonade and the saying "make lemonade". I used the computer to print out the sayings. The new Tart n Tangy set from the mini catalog was perfect for this. The colors used were YoYo yellow and Green Galore.


This last card is a 3x3 Scratch n Sniff card. I used a mixture of 1 part KoolAid and 2 parts clear embossing powder. If you can find the clear KoolAid, I would definitely suggest using it. We used markers to color in the strawberry, the Designer Paper is from the hostess paper pack. To get the embossing mixture just on the strawberry part, we used the Versamarker. The colors used were Wild Wasabi and Real Red. I think most of these cards are pretty straight forward, but if you like instructions, again just send me an email.
