I LOVE susiestampalot... she is just a barrel of fun! I've been a long time fan of her work (even more so after meeting her a couple of years ago at a shoebox swap). I chose this card of hers to case: Congrats to the Grad by susiestampalot at Splitcoaststampers
I used the same MFT set and gold embossed just like she did. I changed up the layout and added that chipboard star (gold embossed). That yummy ribbon is recycled from a Neiman Marcus package from my DH (he didn't realize it was a two-fer!).
I made this card for my best guy friend who just completed the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Academy. It was a grueling process that included being away from his wife and son for about 4 months (he even missed his DS's first birthday). Anyway, he perservered and now has his dream job (he's wanted to be a trooper since we were little kids). I used the color scheme from the OHP uniforms... even stamped a linen background to look like a shirt. Thanks for looking!
