Hello! So glad you stopped in today! Sunday marked the start of the new challenge at Anything But a Card. Since we will be celebrating Father's Day soon (in the US anyway), our challenge is anything masculine or something for Dear Ol' Dad. Remember, we accept any type of art-sewing, mixed media, scrapbooking, altered items, ATCs... anything BUT a card! I will be sharing my project next week (need to get busy on that...) and I hope that you will join us too!
Now, on to my card... We celebrated another graduation this past weekend. I decided to change things up a bit from my last graduation card found here. I also managed to use up a scrap piece of so saffron paper that was laying on my table!! My niece's school colors are green and gold, but I thought the so saffron and gumball green were a little softer and more girly. I colored the rhinestones with a pale green sharpie so they would coordinate with my card colors.
We had a wonderful time at her party and my brother put together an 'old farts' volleyball team to challenge the younger crowd. We all cheered when they won, but joked that the 'young punks' would easily beat them in a rematch the next day! I'm sure some of them were a little stiff Sunday morning!
We have been having some minor mishaps at our house this week. Half of our house was without electricity this weekend and DH has been using all of his construction expertise to fix it. He ended up running some new wiring for a few of our outlets and lights. Hopefully this will fix our issues. We are planning on building in a year and hate to do too much to fix our old mobile home, but wiring isn't one of those things we can bypass! For some reason we seem to think we need air conditioning and lights...
On a happier note, I did find a little time to play this weekend and have some cards to post for Flashback Friday and I'm working on a few other things too. I hope you have a wonderful day and find some time to be crafty too! Happy crafting!
