Friday Mashup #56 and Freshly Made Sketches #33





Hello, blogger friends!  I have been working on baby announcements for my daughter and a card set for my aunt, so I haven't been working on challenges this week.  I wanted to make the Friday Mashup  #56 deadline, so I made the card this evening using The Freshly Made Sketches #33.  For the Friday Mashup, I mashed it up by using text paper, text stamp, and I made a graduation card.  The paper is from My Mind's Eye and I used an embossing folder for the blue rectangle.  I used Pacific Point for my main color and background card stock.  The stamps are retired Stampin Up stamps.

My oldest son finished his doctoral dissertation a couple months ago and will graduate from the University of New Hampshire in a couple weeks.  This card will be going to him!

Thanks for stopping by!
