Lots of Circles

.

This is one of the cards I made for my nephew, Paul, who is graduating from high school this year. We all know I struggle with masculine cards because I tend to slap daisy shapes on every thing. I don't even think of them as flowers - just symmetrical design elements. But a guy at a craft show asked me if I had any Sticky Notes without flowers. I didn't.

I used to try to make graduation cards look like graduation cards. Now I just go with my strengths.

Lime green is one of my new favorite colors. My next car shall be lime green, I've decided. Unless, by the time I'm ready for a new car, lime green isn't available. Who knows what color I'll be into then.

The smallest of those circles above were punched with a set of punches I bought recently from a crafter on one of the lists I belong to, who was thinning her stash of punches. I wasn't sure how cleanly they'd punch, being so small - but they were cheap so I figured I didn't have much to lose. I love them, it turns out.

Blogger has a fairly new feature now where you can schedule blog posts to publish at specific times. So I'm setting up a couple in advance because Saturday, Steve and I hit the road for our vacation destination. More about that later.
