Graduation Continues....At BBTB2

Hello my crafty friends, I think I am finally getting myself back on track again, it think. lol  It's been busy and crazy around here since the end of May. I had a Lupus flare because I stress out over things way to much. What can I say, I've been like this since I was 3 years old!  I am trying hard not to stress so much, but when your baby grows up on you, it's hard not to stress. Or at least it was hard for me. Any way, after a few weeks of resting and trying to keep up with the mowing, I am finally getting some energy back and feeling better. Of course we had a full week of rain and ugly grey days, which didn't help my RA and Lupus. My body didn't want to bend or move. I hate feeling like I'm 104 years old. Anyway, graduation isn't done yet! Yep you heard me right, my sweet design team sister Mayra has issued the challenge to the rest of us at BBTB2  of graduation. And of course I made it hard on myself cause you know with the blockage up in my brain, I just don't think right, oh and add in the Lupus fog and you got one mother with no brain! That's how I feel, no brain Brenda should be my new name. I wanted to keep the graduation party stuff for this challenge and what did I do but went and posted it. lol See, told you...no brain! So back to the drawling board I went. Of course I used Pinterest for my inspiration and jumping point. Well I came across a card that I made for son #4 when he graduated from college back in Dec. But I did it with the Cricut this time! Here is the original card. Now here is mine:

Yes, a blatant copy! I am not above copying an awesome card, no I have no shame at all!  I am hearing you asking me where in the heck did I use the Cricut at, right?! Well I used the Cricut cartridge Pretty Pennants for the three pennant shapes!  Then I used a My Creative Time die for my sentiment banner. The little "hat" is just a square I cute and then place a little tassel on. Yes, I know my "buttons" are crooked-dang it again! When will I ever learn to measure and make marks with a pencil instead of just eye bawling everything?!! I know I can't eye bawl things because I have crooked eyes!! Oh well what is done is done. My buttons are Vivia pearl pen as is the "button" on the hat. My sentiment comes from a Cardz TV stamp set. So that's my card for this challenge at BBTB2. You will so need to go check out what all my design team sisters have done, I promise you won't be disappointed with their grad projects. Then I hope you will join us with your own grad project and link up with BBTB2!! I can't wait to see what you all do! Thanks as always for stopping by and sittin' a spell with me. Gosh we just may have to sit out by the pool this week because it is supposed to be hot this week. So if you come looking, check out by the pool for me. Until next time...crafty hugs, Brenda
