Con-GRAD-ulations!

This month, in my (Lauren's) family, we have two nieces graduating from college, and a nephew graduating from high school. Which called for a single flexible design that could be customized for three different personalities. As it turns out, I have *NO* graduation stamps or dies. (HOW is that possible?!) But... large numeral dies and colorful alphabet stickers on notebook paper make an excellent base, and I personalized each version with lots of Eyelet Outlet Brads. Since there are 42 brads from 18 different sets across the three designs, I'm going to just mention them below in the Shopping List section!

Take Me!

 Some days we all feel like we've had enough of crazy! Here's a funny little card that will cheer someone who can relate.

For this card I had planned to put two aliens in the space ship, but I realized I only had one left in my stash, so I opted for his buddy, a one-eyed monster brad and I think it worked great! I added a little red bling to the space ship and they're ready for take off! But will they return for the little girl who is begging to go?

Go Jump in the Lake!

Here's hoping that some of you are enjoying the lake scene this Memorial Day weekend. My card celebrates jumping in the lake as something that's lots of fun - not an insult. I love this idea because jumping in a lake is one of the joys a lot of us have experienced in our lives, at many different ages.

This card starts with a pre-printed tag that I matted and then put on a torn mat before putting it on a teal card. Then I added the brads and enamel brads to make it extra fun. It's a perfect way to celebrate the lake life.

Floral Reverse Double Z Card

Welcome to a card that can't help you feel like a warm summer afternoon. This is a reverse double-z card. The card style features a horizontal strip of cardstock that spans across the card when it's open. The strip was a perfect place to add a strip of pink Fancy Long Bling from the store. I layered three paper flowers in white red and yellow and used a clear Bumpy Bling as the center.

I placed a centered strip of Fancy Strip Bling across the entire strip. I used the flower as the focal point by gluing it to the middle of the strip on top of the bling. Then I added a Bee Brad on the strip and also on the right side of the card. I used Pearl Strip Bling to create bee trails. Finally I added three Mini Butterfly Brads on the left side of the card.

I loved how this card turned out. EO products made it easy to make this card special. The products I used are below.

You're the G.O.A.T.

There is no doubt about it - I am incredibly blessed with a set of friends who ARE the G.O.A.T.  They truly are the greatest of all time, so today's card is made with a very grateful heart for the many ways they look out for me.

If you've ever spent any time around goats, you know that there's nothing they won't climb. There's no mountain high enough for them, so I used a snow capped mountain image and put my Eyelet Outlet goat brad on top. I added a few of our pine tree brads on the left side, and in the higher elevation I added a a snowy tree brad.
