Hi and welcome to my blog!The Gina K CSS Alumni girls have put together another blog hop just for you! If you came from Vicki's awesome blog, you are right on track. If you just happened by, I encourage you to start at the beginning of the hop right here.
Tonight we are getting wordy!! Gina K. Designs is known for including some of the best quotes and sentiments in their sets so we wanted to highlight some of these fabulous quote by using them our main focal point.
My brother's twins graduated this year and in Gina K's Inside and Out stamp set there is a quote that I felt was perfect for a graduation card.
My first card is for my nephew Tyler.
I made this card into a more masculine card by using the twine and hardware for my embellishments. The pattern paper is Cosmo Cricket's Wanted pack.Now for my niece Katie I went with a more feminine touch.
I still used the same quote from the Inside and Out set but went with ribbon, lace and pearls for my embellishments. The patten papers on Katie's card are from Basic Grey's Hopscotch pack.Make sure to leave a comment on each blog as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (June 28th), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get to choose a free stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!
Now I am going to send you on your way to Peggy's fabulous blog.
Enjoy the rest of the hop!
