Congrats Grad

Happy Sunday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. Hope you were able to do something fun this weekend. Ours was laid back.

We went to watch our youngest grandson, Ethan play little league ball on Friday night. He hit a home run and it was over the wall in the outfield. Exciting for us and him. He did the same on Thursday night when we went to watch him play.

Saturday was just a day of running errands and hubby working in the yard. We had a great dinner. I made fresh salmon burgers with feta cheese and spinach and sautéed some onions and mushrooms and topped it with a kumato tomato. They are delicious brown tomatoes I picked up at Trader Joe's. I plan on making a salad with fresh mozzarella, basil and drizzle them with balsamic vinegar. But that's today's side dish.

Anyway, onto my card for today. It's time for a new monthly challenge on the Great Impressions Stamps Blog and this time around its a "sparkle" challenge.

My card is using 2 Great Impressions Stamps. The background stamping was done with the "fireworks and stars stamp" -  G303 . I stamped in Memento tuxedo black ink and added some clear rhinestones for some sparkle.

My sentiment is the "graduate stamp" - C379. I stamped and then cut it out with a Spellbinders labels 3 die. I sponged the edges in black ink and added 3 rhinestones on this panel as well. I added a die cut graduation cap with a rhinestone center on this panel.

The pennant flag is dry embossed with a Sizzix herringbone folder. the layout is the current de-constructed sketch #103. 

that's my card for today. Hope you can find the time to play along in our challenge. You can win some Great Impressions Stamps.

Until next time.........God Bless.
