Thoughts of a Grasshopper

VC Rocks is having a blog hop this weekend.  If you go to the VC Rocks blog , you can see the work of many talented stampers.  The theme of the swap is to use punches, simply scored or the big shot.  I went with the big shot. Stamps:  By the Tide, Banner Greetings, Hearts a Flutter CS:  VV, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar Ink:  Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar (stamped off once), Crisp Cantaloupe Misc.:  Fancy Fan EF, dimensionals, dazzling diamonds Thanks for stopping by.

We went to graduation this year to celebrate with a couple of Seniors.  It was a good graduation with quite a few speakers.  The night was breezy, which I was grateful for because it has been warm and the humidity has started to increase. We got them a couple of gift cards each to places around here.  I made the mortarboard gift holders.  I would have put some truffles they would have melted in the heat.  I bought some tassles at Hobby Lobby.  I had to extend them with some embroider floss.  I didn't have any black brads so I took the vintage brads I had and used VersaMark and black embossing powder.  It works in a pinch.
