pretty pink posh blog hop

I'm excited to participate in Pretty Pink Posh's sequin shaker blog hop.  Paulina at PPP makes shaker cards look so easy, but I seriously struggled to get everything just right.

This card is for a proud mother to give to her son who is graduating from college.  She ordered a money lei from me so that her son could wear it in his graduation ceremony.  I threw in this card with her order to send my best wishes.

With graduation and wedding season coming up, I'm thinking I'll be making quite a few of these.  Good thing I enjoy it:)

Thank you for stopping by.

Supplies:

Stamps: Mama Elephant Sunny Skies; Studio Calico Bluegrass Farm

Inks: Hero Arts (cup o joe, mint julep); Versafine (onyx black)

Dies: Kelly Purkey Twentyfourteen; Lawn Fawn Say Cheese

Other: various sequins

10 minute craft dash #24

My nephew, Kainoa, starts his first day of college tomorrow and I couldn't be a prouder auntie.  He is an aspiring baker/restaurateur and is holding down a part-time job at a bakery while attending classes.  Such a good kid...ahem, I mean young adult.  Clearly, I'm in denial that my nephew has grown up.

I'm submitting this card I made for him as part of the 10 Minute Craft Dash hosted by Pretty Pink Posh.  I finished in 7 minutes and 24 seconds.

Yup, I do think my nephew is awesome like milk and cookies.  Here he is on his graduation day, wearing the money lei that I made for him.

               

So proud of you, Kainoa!!!  Thanks again for the great challenge, Pretty Pink Posh!
