Congratulations!

It's not very often I make "Congrats" cards, but I've got a few things going on this year. My husband's step-sister graduated college a few weeks ago, so I used my Imagine to make a unique card for her. I think I used the Imagine More Cards for everything, except the "Congratulations" stamp on the front envelope, which I got from... who knows where! 

I also made certificates for each student in my 2nd grade class, along with 2 ribbons for the students with the highest accelerated reader points, and highest percentage. One of my academically-gifted boys earned the percentage ribbon, and one of my star students won the points. She love monkeys, so I used browns and yellows for hers. I cut out the A+ from Pooh Font, I think. The kids really loved them, but I actually had a couple others cry because they didn't win :-(.

I got the inspiration and directions from Circle Nadia's blog post, which I love to visit. She is seriously one of the most talented people I've ever (not) met. :-D

Birthday Card for Allycat

Funny story. I made my little sister a birthday card (her birthday was even before mine- that's how far behind on life I am) and put it in the top of her box, since I didn't have an envelope. Somehow, as she was opening the box, she flung the (beautiful, time-consuming, precious) card I made and it fell in the dog's water bowl. And of course since I FINALLY used my imagine to make a card instead of "real" cardstock, the image immediately blurred and eventually disappeared. Haha. Maybe I should stick with regular paper and not try printing. I used Imagine More Cards for this, along with the pretty pretty ribbon Kymberlee sent me.
