I decided to use the stars on a graduation card for my nephew. I cut two stars and two shadows. I ran the stars through my Cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder. The "you did it!" is also from a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The "Happy Graduation!" and "Reach For The Stars" are both stickers that I had in my stash. The photo corners are Heidi Swapp. My nephews high school colors are burgundy and gold, so I decided to add some burgundy to the card. The dotted ribbon is from Michael's.
I have lots to do today. I have a craft class at the library tomorrow, and I'm not completely prepared for it yet. I need to finish some cutting and get a lot of glue sticks! I'm so behind on blog hopping again, and I'm so sorry about that! I hope to catch up with everyone soon! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!!

Great card - totally perfect for a grad!
This card is just perfection all over, Carol. The whole creation just screams, "you are the best, you are wonderful, I love you dearly and I am so darn proud of you!" I love it!
Oh, before I leave...I put a card on Tamara's sketch blog. I am coming back into the fold with a different approach; if I don't get it done, I don't get it done. I am also going to try out her layout sketches and see how I can do with those.
oh.. great card, love the embossing!
It's fab Carol! A really striking design! Love the "reach for the stars" sentiment too! xx
Handsome card for a guy. Those stars are so nice and bold.
fabulous card Carol, I will definitely pop over to check out the bitten by the bug, been a while since I was there and now I have my cricut I really must get a reason to use it more!
OM heavens Carol what a cool looking card! Love the embossed cs stars! Great job! :)
This is a really neat card. I am envious of the swiss dots embossing -- I love that look -- but don't have the means to do it.
Thank you, Carol, for explaining that you "cut two stars and two shadows". As you know, I am a novice at using the Cricut; and when I read that, it was like a light bulb went off above my head. I immediately had to try cutting an image and a shadow and then had to get hubby to come see what I had learned. I now understand the shadow feature! So again, thank you!
Black and white is so very elegant Carol! I can't believe I sold my bug......ugh!
Great card! I love the black and white theme with just a touch of red
Awesome card, I love all the embossing!

Awesome card Carol! I love the embossing on the hearts, and the black and white with the accent of red is fab! Love it!!
Another fantastic card and perfect for a grad! I love the colors and the embossing, I really need to purchase a Circut:)
Awesome dude card. I could see that swiss dots pattern superimposed over my vision (on everything in the world!) and never get tired of it, LOL. Love the matching ribbon & layout. You are SO good! :0)
