The Paper Players #351: Class of 2017

Welcome ~ It's a happy tail waggin' day here on Pawsitive Thoughts!  The Paper Players Theme Challenge starts today AND it's my first day as a Guest Designer on their awesome Design Team. I'm so honored and humbled to join this amazingly talented team and want to thank them for letting me play!

This week, Joanne came up with the perfect theme for this time of year:  Class of 2017.

I went with a graduation card in school colors for a little inspiration:

I started with a retired Doodle Pantry image for the grad cap, created a '2017' background (thank you, Misti :), and die cut stitched circles with MFT's Circle Stax.  The silver cardstock layer was embossed with The Paper Studio's Stars embossing folder.  The sentiment from MFT's More Essential Sentiments was heat embossed with white detail EP on a black banner.  Lastly, I sprinkled a few shiny die cut stars and sparkled up the cap with Spectrum Noir's Shimmer pen.  

We can't wait to see what you create!  You'll find great inspiration on the DT's blogs, so please stop by and say hello to the team:

Words 2 Scrap By: June Challenge

"Oh, The Places You'll Go!"  That's the fun theme for this month's challenge at Words 2 Scrap By.  There's so many directions you can go with this!  For my card, I went with a graduation card for a good friend's daughter.  Her school colors are red and gold.

She's considering moving to California after the big day so I chose one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss's timeless book for the inside sentiment:

Congratulations!

Today is your day.

You're off to Great Places!

You're off and away!

Supplies:  Pop Tones Cherry Cardstock, Studio Basics "Magic" 6x6 Paper Pad, The Paper Studio Lines Embossing Folder, Stampendous Stamps,  Lawn Fawn Stitched Banner Die, and Recollections Gold Eyelets, Gold Rhinestones and Gold Ribbon.  Stickers from stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have fun with this challenge...where will you go??
