Follow Your Dreams

Happy Sunday!

It’s been a lazy day here for us today.  I seem to have done nothing all day lol.  Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing!

CASFri 270511

I wanted to make a CAS card for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge for which the theme is graduation.

I decided to use the bike from Lawn Fawn ‘Cruising Through Life’ set. I wanted to move away from the traditional graduation type card with a mortarboard and do something a little bit different and thought this little sentiment says it all.  Lawn Fawn images are always such good fun to colour in too. 

I was inspired by Kelly Marie Alvarez’s one layer card with the bike and thought I would have a go.  I’m not sure I’ve actually made that many one layer cards.  Yay, another thing ticked off my to do list! I used one butterfly from ‘Blissful Botanicals’ and another from ‘Critters in the Burbs’.  I love how you can mix and match all of the sets with a bit of thought. I added grass from a Hero Arts set, Stamp a Garden.

I’m also going to enter this card into Just Some Lines for their graduation theme.

I’m not sure if any of you have seen it, but we’ve been watching ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.  The start of tonight’s show made me wonder if we have lol.  Do any of you watch it?  I’d love to hear what you think!

  2. Super cute card, Ruby! Love the bike...:) Well, if all that effort spent cycling, especially up hill, always paid off with one dream coming true, I would cycle more often! Instead, I have recently got rid of my bike...ha ha ha lol ;P Ruby, we MUST finally meet. No more excusses! Happy to come over to yours or somewhere for coffee, just let me know when and where! ;) hugs, xx
