Time for the Bubbly

Hello Again,
Here is a card I made for the following challenges. Sassy Studio Designs - "All White Challenge" and Brown Sugar Challenge - "Buttons & Bows". I'll also be sharing this on the Pink by Designs's - Linking Up Tuesday.

I used the D'vine Swirls on the layer of the card. The image is from SSD, Sentiment is from PBD and some bling, ribbon and bows from my stash. It was hard to photograph this especially since it was late at night, but hopefully this shows up well on your monitors. Hope to see you back real soon. Scrap you later...

USA...USA!!

Happy Graduation!! Class of 2011

Soo many cards, sooo little time... I've been making quite a few graduation cards lately as you can tell from my postings. It's just that time of year again. I have to always make extra now, some for me and my Mom, since she feels I'm her personal Hallmark or American Greetings card store. **sn: I'd do anything for my Mom she is THE BEST, but don't tell her that; she might go over board on going through my card stash...lol **

 These are just a few of them, but I'm going to have to duplicate a lot of these to make sure I have enough (hopefully Mom won't drain me one swoop) **sn: maybe I shouldn't show her all of them; only the ones I want her to choose from...tee hee hee **. Anyhew, hope you like. You know we bloggers love, love, love comments so feel free to leave me some love. Smooches...
p.s. Forgive me for not having the recipe to share right now but I worked on these all at the same time and forgot to take my notes as I was doing them. I'll have to go back and check my gypsy to see and meaure things out. I'll share that later if anyone is interested.
