Happy Thursday! Short weeks go by so fast! I'm not feeling as lazy tonight, so I am going to post all details and instructions! This card is inspired by K. Werner's Color Challenge and is ALL STAMPIN' UP!. I haven't participated in a few weeks (well, last week I made a Valentine's card for Mac, but never posted that). This year, I have 3 graduations and all are graduate school, post-graduate school, or some other professional study. So, I thought I'd start now on making some graduation cards because before I know it, May will be here.
As a random side note, I purchased Make it Tonight by FineCooking.com at Whole Foods last week. I've cooked 3 dishes so far and all were FABULOUS. I like to cook, but get bored easily when I run out of new dishes. This magazine and website have re-sparked my cooking motivation. Mac has enjoyed all of the dishes too. The website features countless recipes. Grab the magazine or just check out the website, both are great starts to a happy stomach! Most times, I add my own twist to each recipe to make it my own (similar to card making), but they give you such great ideas for new meals. Enjoy!
Have a good one and thanks for stopping by!

What a fun Grad card! I can't believe it is time to have to start thinking about that, never too early to be prepared. Great job on the challenge.
Mmm... beautiful!! Love the 'citrus' colours.. my faves!!
Love the boldness in your card Ashley!
LOVE this card, Ashley. The colors are great, but I especially like what you did with the stamped image. VERY nice.
Thanks for the recipe site, too. I am always looking for new recipes to keep my family fed and happy.
