Smashed Congrats

Hi Everyone,

I recently won two wonderful stamp sets from Right at Home Stamps and I finally found some time to make a card with one of the sets.


I made that card for my daughter, who just got accepted into a graduate program in one of the best Universities in Munich, Germany. It was a long time dream of her to spend some time in Germany either working or now studying. She has put so much effort into achieving this and I am so happy it finally worked out for her!

I am also happy I am managing to play along with Right at Home - they are celebrating their one year birthday and have a linky party going on right now - perhaps you want to join in as well? Happy Birthday Right at Home!!!


So I took this cute alphabet banner set and stamped the letters in an orangey yellow. Cut them out an strung them With Bakers twine. Took my ink daubers and smashed them onto my card stock. Added sequins.

Happy Stamping!

Congratulations to your wonderful daughter! What an achievement! I know living in a foreign country is not easy (trust me, it's been 20 years for me but still hard!) but with great support from family, she will do great!!!

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
