I needed another graduation card, so Chupa's Saturday Sketch Challenge was perfect to git 'er done! I was thrilled to find out at church that a girl who had dropped out of high school had actually turned her priorities around and completed her needed credits with online courses and got to walk the stage at graduation ceremonies after all! Her grandfather happens to be our pastor and we're all wanting to celebrate after hearing the good news! I know Mandy loves green, so that made my color choice easy. The numbers are Die-Namics from My Favorite Things. Stamps, flower and leaves dies are all from Verve.
STAMPS: Bloom & Grow (leaves), Sunny Days (flower), Big Wish (sentiment)
PAPER: Victoria Gardens DP by Echo Park, scraps of green (? Certainly Celery, ? Old Olive)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! It's been a glorious weekend and I hate to see it come to an end! I got to spend some time with my daughter yesterday in neighboring Nelson County...known for its many wineries and rural, scenic countryside. We had a great time shopping at the farmers' market then had a delicious lunch at Wild Wolfe Brewing Company's restaurant and had a gorgeous view while dining on the patio! Just had to share some pictures with you!
