Happy Graduation, Jacob!

My nephew, Jacob, is graduating from high school today.  Boy, I can remember when he was born.  Time sure flies!  This is the card I made for him.  I purchased the graduate boy image from The Greeting Farm.  This is one of the first digital stamps I have purchased to color in and it was easy.  I printed from my  Canon printer on Gina K 120 lb. luxury white paper.  I used my copics to color him and I didn't see any smearing.  In addition, it is the first time I used the Gina K paper.  It is really nice and thick.  Love it!

I wanted to add a hip statement to Jacob's card, so I stamped "Dude u ROCK".  The stamps sets for the sentiment are Dude (retired), Dino Roar and solo u.  Those are all from CTMH.  

I used my nestabilities label two set and my cuttlebug embossing folder.  Oh, I love my toys!

Happy Stamping!

Tutorial Time - Diagonal Double Pocket Card

Man, Oh, Man! It has taken me forever to get this video uploaded to a host. For some reason YouTube would not take it last night or today. I kept getting a message that it was too big; however, it is only a little over five minutes. In fact, it is the shortest video I have ever created. YouTube has a rule that your video has to be under ten minutes, so I don't understand. After many, many, many attempts and research, I decided to try a new host.

I know some of you can't view my videos on Veoh, so I looked around and found MySpaceTV on Dawn's blog. You remember DAWN! I am always talking about her rockin' blog. Well, I signed up on my space and uploaded my video there. SO....let me know if you can't see this one. I am hoping everyone can, because YouTube doesn't like this one.

I made this card over the weekend and the instructions came out on the Weekly Inkling from SlitCoastStampers. Now, I used their instructions, but I thought it was funny that I made the card and then it was the feature written tutorial in their newsletter this week. What a coincidence?

This card is so much easier than it looks finished. You will be surprised at how quickly you can make these. Of course, they are fun too!
