School Colors



Another week gone by and I am here to post my Sweet Sketch Wednesday post. Seems like by the time I do everything to make SSW run each week,  I never have time to post any other cards during the week. Sometimes I wonder how my design team does it all too. This week we have one of our very favorite sponsors Digi Stamp Boutique . Sally Ann has such fun images and comes out with new ones all the time. I want to thank Sally Ann for sponsoring us every month.  This month she had this darling cat in a graduation suit. I knew I had to do that  even though  we have a dog and not a cat.  It was just to adorable to not do.



Well  for us school is almost over and it's our last son's graduation from high school. His graduaton is a little over a month away. Yeppie we have almost made it!!!! Well he loves his school and the colors are Purple and White. He was on the football team and did very well at football and had lots of fun doing it. We are very proud of him and are so happy that he has worked hard to pull off graduation..

I needed to make him a special card  and I think this fits just perfectly. The graduation announcments are purple black and  silver. So I thought that doing purple and silver would be perfect. For my added embellishment I wanted to make a tassel and add that to the hat in some way. For the oval I sewed two ovals together with silver thread.  Then I scrunched up the white oval on the edge.



Well I loved how my card turned out and was happy that it all came together due to limited computer access. I want to make sure to thank all of my follwers on both blogs. It really means alot to me and I hope my design team  and I send you lots of inspriation each week.
