Zoology Grad

 For this 2 week challenge at  Tuesday Morning Sketches we are teaming up with Double Trouble Paper Crafting 

Here are their requirements

 THING  1:  Trouble Maker 

says, "I was just looking at the May calendar and came across Lost Sock Memorial Day.  It's a day to recognize any unmatched socks that we never throw away.  As I read how to observe this special day it was suggested that I conduct a brief search as a tribute and then get on with my life.

With my unmatched socks I headed into my favorite crafting space and conducted a brief search. During my search I pulled out some items to include in my project and at that time decided it was time to get on with my life. So my optional twist is to go through your stash and find items, unused or unmatched, to include in your project. Please let us know in your personal post the item(s) you used.

THING  3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "Hey! Have I got a twist for you! I think it would be fun to use this sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. 
My optional twist is to use Sketch #  756  for an additional chance in our random drawing.

"Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch... rotate the sketch or use its mirror image. Be sure to include a sentiment, and you may vary the shapes as long as the basic sketch is recognizable in your project."  

Optional Twist:  If you have included this Sketch in your project you will earn another chance in our random drawing.

THING  2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a  project using unmatched or unused items from your stash and have used Tuesday Morning Sketch #    you are eligible to enter your project HERE and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing.

Here is our sketch

A girl in my church is graduating college with a degree in zoology.  This is her grad card.


I started with a white card base, added some printed vellum, then a layer of a black and silver world map card, and a layer of red and white star paper. The image is from SU! Zany Zebras (retired). I sponged on blue and green. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I added the grad cap so you would know immediately it was for graduation. I omitted the ribbon and added a sentiment in its place And a googly eye just for fun. The inside says " and celebrate your graduation."

I m adding this to Cardz 4 Galz #224--Celebrations. Maybe not a traditional galz type card but in this instant it is celebrating a girl's graduation.

And The Paper Players Animal Antics challenge. 


 I hope you will have fun with our sketch and join in the Double Trouble Paper Crafting challenge also. They are offering a prize so you will want to check them out.

  3. Donna, the vellum printed is a great pattern paper for a Graduation card. Love the graduation cap added to the adorable critter. It's so much fun when you pull from your stash a retired stamp set and bring it out of retirement. Thanks for sharing with us your DT card.

  6. A fun card, Donna. I like the eclectic mix of materials used for the base sketch. Best advice for any Grad is to make a place for themselves. Congrats to your friend on her achievements. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us at Paper Players this week. Cheers, Jolanda - DT
