Graduation Banner

A few weeks ago a friend asked me if I would make a banner for her daughter who is graduation from high school. The colors are royal blue and silver. She just gave me a size wanted and the name and told me I had free rain for the rest.

I went with the traditional Congratulations and her name then I added some additional banners w/ the fun graduate, diploma, class of and a few little stars.

Banners were cut at 5" w/ the shadow feature from Birthday Bash
The letters were all cut from Something to Remember at 3" - 3.2" I used my gypsy to size them accordingly.
I also did the shadow function with those.
The girl was from Paper dolls - and I used the "hide" feature so I could stamp some PKS faces on them. She was cut at 3.5"

The Class of 2013- I did again with the gypsy and sized the letters at 1.6 and welded them together.

The diploma was cut at 1.5" from Wrap it up. (You know those cartridges you forget about when buy them having awesome fun features).

I since she only wanted Royal Blue and silver I pop dotted the letters up so they would really stand out on the banner.

The paper is Cord'inations - royal blue and some light weight silver paper from bazzill.

 

Hope you enjoy and Happy Scrappin'

 



BEYOND EXCITED!!!!

 

Happy Sunday!!! I hope your weekend was fun and relaxing.  I  am beyond thrilled to be selected as part of the 2013 Scrappy Chic design team. Scrappy Chic is a local scrapbooking store here in SE MI.

 

I will say this is a dream come true.  

 

I was selected as one of 4 design team members for the 2013 year.

 

To be selected as part of the design team we had to submit 3 different layouts with specific conditions, and if we wanted to an altered art project. 

 

 

Layout #1 –Titled: Social Butterfly – The objective here was to use only solid papers in an innovative way. I used bold colors coordinating with the photo, large cut shapes, and  a few Cricut cuts dressed up with some stickles.

 

Layout #2 – Titled:  You Are – The goal here was to use at least 5 different manufactures. I used Echo park paper, bazzill cardstock, cord’inations cardstock, twine, and hero arts.

 

Layout #3 – Titled: Happy Girl – This was to use mainly one manufacture but at least 4 different items from them. I used My Minds eye. I used the paper, a die cut, brads, rub on, and stickers.

 

Altered Project – Since I used my alter project for the DT try outs and also then used it to showcase a fun project on the Cricuts Fantastic blog I'll wait to post details regarding that later.

 

I am thankful and excited to be apart of a great team who loves and supports Scrappy Chic. I will say some of these projects were challenging yet they turned out to be some of my FAVORITE projects I've made.

 

Hope you enjoy and

 

Happy Scrappin'
