Graduation Time!

It’s that time of year again! Graduation time! When the tassel really is a big hassle! Even though it’s been…ahem ahem, ohhh never mind how long it’s been! I can remember all the excitement we had leading up to the big day! The memories and friendships made, so much to look back on. Graduating from high school is a pretty big deal! You should be so very proud of everything you have done. It’s a time to look back and reflect on all of your accomplishments! Give yourself a BIG pat on the back, you did it!! Graduating is not a right and is definitely something you worked so very hard for! You have earned the honor to walk with your classmates and get that diploma! You should be so very proud!

Two of my nieces are graduating from high school on Wednesday. I am so happy and proud of both of them! Their party is this coming weekend and of course I was asked to make their invites! It’s kinda my thing and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

My go to paper for most of my cardmaking is Recollections by Michaels. Their 12×12 individual sheets are just the right weight and their 8 1/2 x 11 paper packs work great for adding the details of the party to print at home. They always have great sales on both items! The file I used is the Rounded Pocket Invite Fold Over by Jamie Lane Designs. I love all of her cards and this was the perfect invite to use to allow me to include the details of the party and individual pictures of the graduates.

To all the graduates, here is to YOU!! The rest of your life starts NOW! Make the most of it, don’t be afraid to spread your wings and fly!! You and only you control where your life takes you from this day forward!

Happy Graduation to the Class of 2016!!

3D Rolled Flowers ~ Super Easy

Hi my crafty friends!!

The weather is kinda crazy this week. It was in the 90’s earlier this week, the past couple of days, it’s been cold and rainy. I don’t get nearly as much time to craft or scrapbook as I would like. Who has the time when you have 3 out of 4 children in sports? I am secretly happy TBall is over as of today.

I made it a point this past Mother’s Day to work on something super special for my mom. As Mother’s Day was approching I was getting down to the wire. I am a member on a few different groups on Facebook for my Silhouettte Cameo machine. These groups are so much fun! Such a great group of women (and men!) from all over the world sharing ideas, projects, tips, and support.

The past few weeks I’ve noticed a lot on the 3D rolled flowers and shadowboxes. I had the files for some time now (common’, how many files do you have but have not used yet?) I made one flower and it was downhill from there. I wanted something special for my mom for Mother’s Day and this was it! Shadowboxes were all over Pinterest and Facebook and I knew a shadowbox gift with the rolled flowers was the perfect gift!
Shadowbox Rolled Flowers

I picked up the shadow box from Michael’s, they had a great sale just before Mother’s Day. Their 8 1/2 x 11 Recollection paper is honestly the best paper I have found for the rolled flowers. It is not too thick and not too thin. If you need to know it is a 65lb paper. Velum works great too and Michael’s vellum rolled very easily. I think I like it better than the white.

I am debating on doing my first instructional video for the rolled flowers. Share your thoughts below if you are interested and would like to learn how to make these. They are super easy and honestly, very therapeutic.

Happy Sunday everyone! Feel free to share some love below! I’d love to hear from ya!
