Typed Thanks!

Soo I decided that if I'm going to use retired things for these graduation thank you notes, I may as well make the whole card retired product, haha. And that's what this one is! 100% retired product! But I do love this typewriter and should definitely use it more often! 

This card also uses a recent sketch from splitcoaststampers.com

Supplies:

Stamps: PS You're The Best (2018), Check You Out (2020) (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Seaside Spray marker (retired)

Paper: Basic White, Seaside Spray, Dapper Denim card stocks (both retired)

Accessories: Dimensionals, Seaside Spray metallic ribbon (retired), stapler 

1000 Books!

Not a lot of crafting time lately, but I have made a few scrapbook pages I can share.
Like this layout with this adorable stamp set that did not get enough attention it's one year. It retired a year ago but I really love it, and it was perfect for a page about my girl reading 1000 Books before she starts Kindergarten! (which isn't even this coming school year!) This is a thing our library does that I thought was definitely worth signing her up for. I was just surprised she was done so quickly! So she got a few prizes (dinner coupon, stuffed animal, stickers) and I made a layout of several of our times checking in. The tags have the dates on them, and the tags themselves came from the Dec 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit! love those "leftovers" for other projects!

But also, I stamped lots of books for the page and this super cute bookworm, and an adorable library card too!

Graduating Boys

Of course I know a ton of graduating kids, but I have two boys that we need to mail a card to, so today I'm sharing what I made for them! I used the Mojo Monday sketch for the layout, altho it might be a little hard to see. The stack of books is a fun idea but I think it might be too bright for this card. Oh well! I fussy cut the graduating owl and popped him up on Dimensionals so he could stand out a bit. This sweet stamp set is sold out! Hurry and order those retiring items so you don't miss out on anymore!

Supplies:

Stamps: Check You Out (SOLD OUT!)
Ink: Soft Suede, Gray Granite, Real Red, Pacific Point, Balmy Blue, Pear Pizazz, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie & Granny Apple Green

Paper: Real Red, Pacific Point and Very Vanilla card stocks

And here's some close ups of these cute graduating owls! 

6th Grade Graduation

Well that was a crazy day! I got 17 pages done yesterday for my son AND we got his 12x12 pages all sorted and put in his albums in order! It was a lot of work and it was exciting to see it all together. It also made me realize how much is not yet scrapped! Sheesh! His final album (at the moment) is literally just his senior year, up til Easter. The album before that goes from 2012 - last May! YIKES! And my totals are all at the bottom of my sidebar. I've done a LOT! And there's a bunch more to do of the next few days!!!

So for today, here is his 6th grade graduation, which I only did in the last two weeks! It has a mix of new and old and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Supplies:
Stamps: Check You Out 
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Dapper Denim (retired), Always Artichoke (retired)
Paper: Cherry Cobbler & Sahara Sand card stock, Treehouse DP (retired in 2006!)
Journaling is typed with the font: Little Days

And a couple closeups. Glossy photos are hard to photograph!

Off to make more memories!!

Scrappy Friday

What a week this has been. So today I got a little more scrapping done. Three more pages for my boy. Here's the first one of the day. I used a brand-new-to-me set from the main catalog, and some retired stamps. The brads are retired and the colors are all current. We won't even talk about how long it took to get this one done...lol.

Supplies:
Stamps: Check You Out, Number of Years (retired), ABC Alphabet Upper (retired), ABC Alphabet Lower (retired)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Seaside Spray, Crushed Curry
Paper: Very Vanilla & Cherry Cobbler

And here's a little closeup of these cute books. This was one of those sets I didn't really notice in the beginning but then I suddenly fell in love with it and had to have it!

And I hope you have a crafty weekend!
