Welcome to Day 2 of the First {Unofficial} CC Blog Hop

Welcome to the second day of the First {unofficial} Crop Chocolate Blog Hop.

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).

If you happened across here, but haven't seen the blogs previous to mine, you can start at the beginning - at rosaliejb's blog - http://www.rosaliejb.blogspot.com/

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.  HAPPY 4TH everyone!!!!

  9. 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.
