Hello! Happy Friday to you!
Today, I am over at Splitcoaststampers hosting a "texture" challenge. To create my texture I mixed Golden Rose Paper Glaze with Paper Glaze Enhancer. I love how easy it is to spread the mixture through the Slimline Broken Fence Stencil! I used both the SLDC Scallop Frame Dies and the SLDC Nested Rectangle Dies for layering. The SLDC Systems include so many dies that it makes them great buys! As an example, the "celebrate" die is included in the Scallop Set! See the photo link at the bottom of this post for the list of dies included in these sets! For a fun embellishment, I die-cut Maple Leaves and painted them with Golden Rose Paper Glaze mixed with water for a little "gold leafing". Lastly, I sprinkled a few Purple-Rita Sequins.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

About four years ago, we sat in a conference room with a large group of families listening to University faculty orientate us on college life. I sat there with my stomach in knots, excited and terrified. One of the mantras of the weekend was "Do it in Four!" Even as I write this I am getting a little choked up thinking about my emotions that day.
Yesterday our son's name would have been called. He would have walked across the stage and I would have had tears streaming down my eyes and a heart bursting with pride! Instead, we will have a home celebration and my heart will still overflow with pride!
So today, I am thinking of all the High School and College graduates and those who have been rooting for them! You Did It! It was a strange ending but you did it! I can't wait to hear the stories of how the graduating classes of 2020 change the world!
For my graduation card, I was inspired by the Free 4 All Challenge at SCS to "Walk on the Wild Side". I decided to take it literally and use the fabulous Walk, Crawl Run sneakers. Aren't they fabulous? Since the challenge is "Walk on the Wild Side" I created a wildly bright background and used a sentiment from I Freaking Love You. It's a different kind of graduation card but if any graduating class deserves something unusual it's this one!
