Graduate photos

Yes, I am the proud mum of a high school graduate.
My, how the last 13 years have flown!
This is a scrapbook page I created to celebrate the graduation day.
The background is Kiwi Kiss textured cardstock and this is layered on black to create a border.
I have used my SU star punches to create the star embellishments.
The background DSP is from Urban Oasis.
The heading and the circle embellishment is from the "Great Grads" stamp set
which is currecntly on special for half price....bargain!
The alphabet used down the page is Defining...it's a great size for 12 x 12 pages.
I also made a card with the same Stamp set (Great Grads).
It is a spring fold card.

Beautiful Butterflies

A very simple card but stunning!
I have used the new Butterfly Print Stamp set with Pink passion and PUNCHED the butterflies with my new butterfly punch...so quick and easy!

Summer Mini fun!

Isn't this a gorgeous layout?

Gorgeous fresh summery ds papers,

My favorite is the new BUTTERFLY PUNCH.

For this layout, I have used the new Kaleidoscope papers, on textured white card which has been layered on Kiwi kiss card to create a nice border.
I have then used the new retro mix wheel along the bottom in Regal Rose and used rub-ons on coordinating Regal Rose ribbon. The rub ons are from the new Chit Chat pack which has a greeting for all occasions, in white and Choc Chip....very useful for cards and scrapbooking.
I have used the new Framed with love set to create my embellishments.
The title is from Enjoy every Moment stamp set...a very useful set for scrapbookers!
I have used the large flower from the pretties kit and a small felt flower from the Flower fusion kit. I have finished off the page with some stitching for a highlight.
Hope you like it!
