Autumn Days!

Here is a nice autumn card made using the new "Autumn Days" stamp set. We used some of the wheat sprigs to 'fluff' up his tail a little and add some colour.
We used yellow cardstock and then masked off an oval shape, and then sponged on 3 or 4 colours around the outside. When you remove the mask, it makes and instant frame around your image.

Here, in this part of Canada, our highschool graduations are held in the fall. That way, the grads who have moved on to college or university can come back and find out how each other is doing. A homecoming of sorts!

In celebration of that, here is a graduation card made using the "Great Grads" stamp set. This is a GREAT set with lots of fun graduation themed stamps in it.

A lot has been going on!
