Allee's Bountiful Blessings was the inspiration for this card. I loved Lynn's warm, rich fall colors, and wonderful layout! (Easel, go figure! Lol, I am so addicted!) I am so happy to see you in this place of honor as Queen for the day! Your gallery is a delight, and I was in there for two days- just picking one! I love your encouraging comments, and sweet spirit. Thank you Lynn, for all you share in this place. Hugs to you!
Lynn's card was what I needed today. Graduation, agh...aside from sympathy cards, I find these the most difficult. I do not have many images for this occasion, however, this one fits the bill so perfectly! Tonight we will celebrate Hannah's graduation from college! Someday she will be a doctor, you know! Hannah is the DD of my prayer partner, Rachel. I have watched this girl grow up. We have been on Mexico Mission trips together, and also enjoyed Youth Group at our church. Hannah's middle name is Joy, and it is perfect for this sweet lil graduate- who also loves House Mouse!
The main image is watercolored, and the cap has a coat of MS black glitter. The main sentiment is a favorite of mine and was a gift from Michelle (Shellapoo).
Thanks for looking, and thanks for your inspiration Lynn! Hugs....

An easel card!! Not really! But as expected, done to perfection. Love the wee little HM with her diploma and cap. I have this picture of you walking through a gate with flower petals in your hair and a smile on your face after wandering for two glorious days in the garden of floral delight that is Lynn's gallery.

What a sweet graduation card, and sure to be a treasured keepsake! I bet you're as proud as Hannah's parents as she graduates. The Psalm is the perfect sentiment for this very personal card you've created. Love the sparkly graduation cap, the flowers and that paisley DP.

What a treasure for Hannah!! Your sweet mouse is so perfect with this awesome scripture to honor the graduate!! And I know this gorgeous easel will be sitting near her and read and reread for encouragement for a long time to come!! I love the way the mouse is standing in the roses! Absolutely precious!!
Thank you, Pat, for creating this amazing graduation card for the QFTD challenge!! It means so much to me, and I'm sure it will mean even more to Hannah!!

Sis, this is amazing in many ways. I promise I hadn't seen this card before I started mine and we used the same exact image. You will know that I hadn't seen your card when you see mine because mine looks like a 5 year old did it and yours looks like Picasso himself was involved.
This is the sweetest graduation card I have ever seen. I need to make one for one of my nieces and I hope you don't mind if I case it. Wow - you so amaze me Sis - I learn so much from you! LYMI!!!!!
PS - wouldn't it be cool to do the HD card as an Easel card too???
