Crop Chocolate is a one-deal-at-a-time website that sells AWESOME(!!!) scrapbooking/paper crafting supplies at reduced rates. The selection is amazing, and the people there are great. It's like a little family.
I was lucky enough to find them over a year ago, and think I have supported at least one of their employees by myself. You should check them out also if you haven't already. You can use the link to the right.
The project I made for this blog hop is a graduation card for my DD's daycare teacher to give to her daughter, who graduate from high school last week.
Here is a picture of it:
Her favorite colors are orange and purple, and orange is a color I don't use often, so I thought I would make it the main color and work the other around it. I also added a little green to lighten it up a little. I used a Cuttlebug embossing border folder, paper from Making Memories and Stampin' Up, chipboard from Stampin' Up (I believe), and a graduation stamp set (I can't remember from whom). The inks are all Stampin' Up - elegant eggplant and dusty durango.
If you like this or want to make comments about this project (or my blog in general), feel free. If you comment, you can win some blog candy (picture is shown on Scrappy Canuck's blog).

With those fav colors the graduate might like East Carolina U. The school colors are purple and gold - not quite orange, but when visiting a purple and gold McD's at 2 am it's probably close enough. lol.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are very inspiring and I will visit your site more often when in need of some care ideas. Thanks you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI would not have thought using those two colors would come out so nicely.. except for maybe a halloween theme.. but you did a wonderful job on that card!!
ReplyDeletegreat job, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought those colors would work, but you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI really like the use of orange on this card - it is a colour I tend to not use too so is good to see it looking so sophisticated!! I love to make cards so will definitely be popping back as scrolling down your page I see lots of designs I would like to scraplift ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are 2 colors that I hardly ever use, but they look great together...sweet card!
