My niece graduated from Salem State with a BA in Accounting this Saturday. I am so happy for her!! Here are a few photos of the day!!
Poor thing had to walk down the aisle on crutches!! She had knee surgery a week and a half ago!!
They give their diplomas out on the same day they graduate!! You don't have to wait for the mail.

Kaitlyn and I. I cannot tell you how proud I am of this kid. She is smart, hardworking and just a great person!!
Enough about my Saturday!! I was able to spend some time in my craft room yesterday and I actually got to make a card for a challenge!! It has been so long since I have had the time, or the inclination, to do so. My mojo seems to have been playing hide and seek with me lately.
I used the Paper Players #296 Sketch Challenge for my card.
I used Sunny Studio "Backyard Bugs" and Paper Trey Ink's "Building Blocks" stamps for this card. The flowers, leaves and flower pot have been sitting on my desk for ages, calling me every time I sat down. However, I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with such tiny images.
Here is the sketch that I used:
I started out by using Lawn Fawn's "Stitched Rectangle" dies to cut out of a piece of Pebbles paper from the "Spring Fling" collection. I then used my "Nesting Circles" by Umbrella Crafts to cut out a circle in the middle. I layered this over an A2 white card base.
I took the pinked circle that I had blended with Distress Ink's AGES ago and stamped my sentiment. I adhered it in the middle of the die cut circle. Next I used My Favorite Things "Stitched Circle Frames" to die cut a frame out of Kraft paper. I adhered this around the center.
I adhered the little flowers and flower pot over the circle and covered the flowers with Wink of Stella. The card was complete!! It was fast and easy, which is something I NEVER say!!!
I thank you for stopping by tonight. Have a FABULOUS Tuesday!!
