Second Post

in one day!  Whoop-dee-doo.  That never happens....I hardly make two posts in a week!  But today I was "cooking on all burners" so to speak and was able to find time to finish another card....for another challenge no less! This time I followed a sketch from the blog "retro sketches: where every sketch is a blast from our past".  I have seen this blog's challenge popping up here and there on some  different blogs that I follow and I had earmarked it as one I wanted to try.  So, with the season of Graduation Cards upon us I decided to try retro sketch #10 and create a graduation card.  Our high school's colors are black, orange and white so it is always a challenge to create a card that doesn't look like a Halloween card.  I like how this card turned out.  Here is the retro sketch:

and here is my interpretation:

The stamp is one that I purchased last year from Purple Onion Designs.  I got several of these stamps with different sayings on them and have used them again and again.  The hat is a sticker and the paper....well, at Halloween time I pick up as much orange and black patterned paper as possible for both grad cards as well as layouts for my kids scrapbooks....for their sport pics and newspaper write-ups.  I like this sketch quite a bit and if I have time tomorrow I hope to do two more college grad cards as well as a quick birthday card.  Thank you for stopping by, again, and I hope you are having a happy and productive day ;-D

Be well,
Sheila
