...And more...

When I came up with the name for my blog I was envisioning...cardmaking, maybe scrapbooking but not sure what the ...and more...was for! Now I know! I have been doing quite a bit of "and more" and not much "paper stuff". LOL However, I did get some more birthday cards done (last month) for work and I am working on a gorgeous (if I do say so myself!) girl birthday card. Here are the cards I made last month. Most of the paper is from Die Cuts With a View, Guy Stack, with a little of the Indian Summer Stack and a teeny Tim Holtz mini paper clip! Easy peasy!

Graduations

I stayed up very late (or early) until 3:00 a.m. because I finally got in gear to make the 7 graduation cards I needed to make! I have CASEd my own graduation card from the last two years and threw in a couple of new twists that I really like! I do my best to match the school colors on the invitations I receive. Here are my standard cards without any twists using Olivia Cuttlebug font.

I got a little more creative on the girlie cards with a little bling for the button on the top of the motar board and Hippy Chick Cuttlebug font.

Then for my dear friend who is graduating from the University this June, I created his card using a sheet of graduation paper I picked up at Michael's yesterday!
