Softball layout

I've been trying to finish this layout for a couple weeks now. I had all the elements down, but just hadn't had time to finish the journaling on it. Finally...I'm done!

This is another LID challenge from the Cricut messageboard.  THIS is where you can find the sketch that I followed, but I won't be posting this layout there because we have a brand spankin' new messageboard.  I think I'll probably post this there.

The solid papers are Bazzill and the patterned papers are from Michael's.  They came in a pack of various black and white patterns and cost about 5.99 before coupon.  I think I need to start writing down the names of the papers I use.  I always think I'm going to remember...but my 30 year old mind just isn't what it used to be-LOL! 

The title was created using the Varsity and Hello Kitty Font Cricut cartridges.  The 'my' words were Cricut...but I just can't remember which cart I used.  Sorry about that!  Other carts used were A Child's Year (father/daughter image) and Plantin Schoolbook (scalloped border). 

I used Gypsy Wanderings to cut this shape out and the journaling is computer generated.

The banner I created using Celebrations.  I used some dimensional pop dots to make it stand out a little bit.

Thanks for stopping by to look! 

...a scraplifted card

Hi! I just wanted to share a graduation card I recently finished. I wish I could say that it was my idea...but it was not. I got the idea from a card I saw here http://myscraphappyplace.blogspot.com/2010/06/graduation-card.html by MagicWanda. I really loved the look of her card and used it as inspiration for my own.

For my card, I used blue and gold paper from DCWV. It was a pack of papers with colors that coordinate with the US Marine Corps. The blue and gold matched the graduate's school colors perfectly!

The congratulations background paper is just plain cream colored cardstock that I stamped 'congratulations' all over.

Cricut cartridges used include Locker Talk (cap) and Varsity (2010). I used my Gypsy to weld 'class of' using the Holiday Cakes cartridge.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by and a special thanks to MagicWanda for the awesome card idea! Have a great day :)
