Good Afternoon!!!!!
Yes, this my second post for the day!!!
Yes, this my second post for the day!!!
It's time for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge
The challenge this week is
Polka Dots
This week my nephew graduated from high school. I have made him a card with his school colors and lots of polka dots. I have done a photo today of the card laying flat so you can see some of the lifted layers.
I will be posting another grad card sometime this week for a great nephew of course in his school colors also. These are a true challenge for me as boy cards are just not as fun for me to do. I have a very hard time with the balance of a simple card for a boy with NO flowers and all of the other fun stuff that I normally use on my cards.
I do hope that he will like this. On the inside I have made a pocket to put a little cash in for him. I am sure he will like that part of the card. LOL..
Well let's have a look now......
