Beccy's challenge for the Reed family

Details to follow - and here they are.  I again used an image from Beccy's Place.  This card will go to the family of our daughter in law.  Her 90 year old father passed away with complications from pneumonia - not the virus.  He had been in relatively good health so this was unexpected.  The simple Swiss Dots embossing folder works well with this image.  I added ribbon and a bow.

For Shirley

Our friend Paul passed away recently.  It is a sad time anyway, and more so right now as families have not been allowed to visit hospitals.  The simplicity of this image by Beccy has always appealed to me, and I like the black and white.

Congrats on earning your PHD, Melissa

Our great niece just earned a PHD - what an achievement!
I had a piece of black cs that I had previously used for an oval cutout.  It was just the right size and shape, so I used it as a frame for the starry patterned paper.  The sentiment is a strip of patterned paper, and the gold stars are acrylic.

2020 - Non-graduation for Evan

Our great nephew (or is it grand nephew?) is a 2020 graduate.  I was able to use paprs and embellishments from my stash.  The Congrats is part of one of the first Cuttlebug die I ever purchased - many years ago!    I used an unknown die to cut the base for the tag.
Congrats to all the graduates who have been experiencing such a difficult time in recent weeks.

Crafter's Cafe DT card Challenge #242 - Feminine

For this challenge at the Crafter's Cafe I selected this image #832 from My Besties.  I chose to highlight a few of the flowers with a water color pencil. Shiny acrylic gems are used as the centers forthe dimensional flowers. I hope you will join us during the next two weeks with your lovely feminine cards.
