Gee whiz… I made the card to go with the gift, and forgot to show you!! It was a busy night…. so here’s the card… SU Great Grads, brilliant blue, yo yo yellow, and whisper white cs. Since it’s a dark colored card, our SU WHITE GEL pen is perfect for writing inside the card. Enjoy!! (Houston’s HS colors were Yellow and Blue..can you tell? )

And here’s the pencil box I stamped to hold all those art pencils. WHITE Stazon is perfect for stamping on plastic. Word stamps were from various companies.

Well, it’s that time of year and I was honored to be invited to a fellow demo’s daughter’s graduation party. Most of the graduations here, have very limited space, so the seating for the actual graduation is very limited. Houston has a nice size family… so it was nice to see them all since they all live way out of town, several states away. I was challenged to make her something (stamping related of course) that she could use in her studies. She is going to study ART, so I created a little purse size sketch book utilizing the Bind it all. I ventured out and used some pretty paper from Basic Grey (Marrakech , Masala Bella) as my focal papers for the front and back. I matched it with SU Pacific Point cardstock and whisper white for the Monogram from “Lovely Letters” . Inside I added “graphic squares index cards” along with regular index cards for doodling or sketching.
