Graduation

The weather here has been amazingly beautiful. I will have to post a picture of my patio so you can see why I enjoy this kind of weather so much. I have enclosed my patio and just had new windows put in. The kind where you can have the windows up, or down. The door I had installed is awesome and also has a window that slides up or down. I have a wicker swing and a fountain (my favorite piece) that I painted. The floor is slate of many colors and is probably the best part of the patio. Everyone who comes over just ooo's and aaahhh's about the floor. I also have a table and 2 chairs in the middle of the patio. I love to come home from work and turn on the fountain and swing...oh and sing. That is my rest time...Now that I have described one of my havens in my house...I guess I had better go figure out how to post pictures of it.

I have a lot of graduations coming up and this is my first card for my friend Kathy's oldest daughter, Kelley. I used SU's Mello Moss for the base and LeJardin Designer Series Paper...some of my favorites. Kelley's favorite color is green and I think this card suits her. I had the Celery Ribbon from a long time ago. I cut out the cap after drawing several I finally came up with what I thought looked really good. I used a computer for the font, Swarovski Crystals and a tassel I bought from Hancock Fabrics. If you click on the picture you can see that the cap is all glittery...where I used Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

Cya :)
