Throwback Thursday: Hats off to Grads and Heros!

Hi!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you are having a great day!   Thought I'd do a throwback to end of last school year today, as the start of the next one is definitely on my mind!  

Here's a special graduation card I had fun creating with the Large Numbers Framelits Dies:

I used Silver Glimmer Paper for sparkle behind the cut out numbers and there's also a Silver Foil Sheet layer on top of the card base.

The next card is a thank you I created for one of my co-workers at school who is truly a super hero!  I used the now-retired Everyday Hero stamp set on this, as well as the still current Thoughtful Banners set, coordinating Duet Banner Punch and Best Badge Punch, and some Fabulous Foil Acetate:

Hope you enjoyed these creations!

Thanks for visiting my blog!!!

Fabulous Friends Friday: SUper Friends Samplers Complete and Fun Rainy Day Surprises!

Happy Friday!!!  A couple Fridays ago, I showed you the 3x3s created by my SUper Friends demonstrator group.  Well, I finally had a chance to get those into their frames, so have the finished project to show you today:

I used Sweet Sugarplum envelope paper layered under a sheet from the Fabulous Foil Acetate for the sampler backgrounds.  The one on top uses the polka dots, while the bottom has the scalloped pattern.  Which do you like better?

Today was a fun mail day as well . . . a sweet friend dropped off a good luck present, complete with homemade card! . . . and underneath that are some swap cards that arrived and a box from my friend Marlene!  Lots of papercrafting goodness!!!  Oh Happy Day!  :)

Wishing you lots of papercrafting goodness this weekend as well!
