Graduation Hanna and Riley

Friday, May 15, 2009

It's Friday again! Wahhooo!

And that means another Hanna Stamps Friday Challenge! This week our hostess with the mostess is the uber talented Candice Lightly. That girl has more creativity in her pinky finger than I have in my whole body! Her challenge HSC69 for us this week is to create a *gasp* one layer card!! She's a cruel, cruel lady sometimes. ;)


I held my breath and created this very simple one layer graduation card using the brand spankin' new Grad Hanna stamp set. Kristi is being sneaky again by releasing a set between releases. I ain't complaining though! I stamped blue stars all over the card, so it isn't THAT plain! LOL The Caribbean Blue edge you see is infact a sponged edge to create the illusion of a second layer. I was being sneaky. :) My cutting board was not happy with me or this card. I think we both were experiencing withdrawl symptoms from the lack of layers because I turned around and immediately created this Riley grad card just so I could breathe again! haha

Even Army cadets need a graduation right? I used up some left over Army patterned paper and this week's SCS sketch challenge, SC228. You can check out the Hanna Stamps Design Team gallery on SCS for more sneak peeks of this set and grad Riley.

Be on the look out for some blog candy from me later this morning! I'm really, really excited for you all! Oh, and on Monday, you might want to stop by here....I have some REALLY EXCITING news for you!!

Hello Sandra, your card is sooooo beautiful You are my "coloringstar" wow.....! Great work! Happy weekend and big hugs!

See! There isn't anything you can't do. Your one layer card is fabulous. The Riley is super cute too. I think next Friday is the Naval Academy,in Annapolis, graduation so a similar idea card would be perfect.

What is the BIG news!!!!??? I can't wait until Monday, that is just a huge tease. What DT snapped you up or what magazine are you being published in. AAAAAhhhh!

Mary Giles said...

So I clicked on the face and a scuba diving in the UK came up. Are you going on a trip?

MiamiKel said...

Ohhhh what a tease!! Are you going on a trip, too?! Fun fun fun! I'll be checking back! Cards, of course, are fantastic!

kadie said...

What'd I tell you! You can totally rock and did rock the one layer card!! You're awesome!! Both cards are fantabulous. Wow, there is so much detail in that Riley card...I love it! So, now...what's this about a trip?

Catherine said...

Both cards are so good!!! Your coloring is stunning!!!! If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have even noticed the one-layer thing because nothing is missing from this one! And Riley is looking soooo cute! Love that layout and your DP!

I love them both and had to double take on those details to see it truly was a one-layer card. You crack me up with the cutter withdrawal. I see you (and it) recovered quite nicely!

deifen said...

Two very different but equally striking cards! I really like the 1st card for its simplicity and clean lines.The papers and the image are fab in the riley card!
Am intrigued by your good news so will be back later to check!!
