Hello!!!!
So we just got through a major storm with hurricane 1 strength, 16 thousand people lost electricity and we have 8 to 10 foot snowbanks, what a ride!!! We literally shook in our beds the whole night and all I could do was pray, lol We lucked out with no damage other than a strip of siding that came off and we never lost electricity!!!
We do have another storm coming tomorrow night , send lots of happy thoughts ok!!! I soooooo appreciate all the spring cards I have been seeing on your blogs , I am wishing, dreaming, projecting thoughts even that spring will grace us with her presence, if not I will have to start to chant, hehe!
So today I am showing you a card I made for a Graduation, you can never be too far ahead in the card making business right?

Colored Digital Image- Graduated With Great Honor -The Paper Shelter
Doily Cut- My Craft Spot
Leaves- Spellbinders
Lace and Flowers- Wild Orchid Crafts
Graduation Hat- Cricut Cartridge " Wrap it Up"
Isn't he just the cutest!!!! I am in love with his eyes, they look sweet and modest.
Acetate, I love Acetate!!! I made half a box and used my Scalloped Square Spellbinders Die to cut out a window (negative cut), then I cut out 2 scalloped squares, layered behind the image which I also cut out using the Scallop Square die.
I put acetate on the back side of the negative cut then cut a panel and adhered the image to it, then adhered the box.
I never followed a tutorial and I did find it hard, I will have to find one somewhere, Regardless I am totally satisfied with the way it turned out.
I made the butterflies by stamping a a flower (cause I loved the pattern in it) and then punched it out using Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch.
Have a super fantastic evening my crafty friends!!!!

Glad you survived the big storm - it was pretty scary, wasn't it! There was so much snow, probably the most we've had all winter, but we've had such mild temps and rain yesterday and today that a lot of the snow is gone already, believe it or not!
We were fortunate not to lose power as well but I did end up with a leak I've never had before - somehow the wind blew snow up into my eaves - we're still not sure how it got in there but the wind was pretty fierce. Here's hoping for no more storms like that!
This is super CUTE!!!!
I'm glad you made it through the storm. It sounds scary!! Sending lots of prayers that you make it safely through tomorrow night, too.

Really cute card. There are a lot of real, live donkeys in this area, they own Oatman and get fed by tourists.
Sorry to hear about your horrid weather, I don't miss winter at all.
