Hello Everyone. It is Friday and time for Friends with Flair. I made a watercolor card using my new Phyllis Harris set that I won as blog candy on Patty's blog:http://scrapclose2theheart.wordpress.com
She contacted me and told me I won one of her give aways. I did not expect it to be an entire set. So happy. I love PH stamps. I decided to play with the water color distress markers and color these images. I used my new corner chomper deco edge (that I purchased with my 60% off coupon at JoAnn's recently). I still thought it needed something so I added a piece of glitter tape from American Crafts. What so you think? Should I have left it alone or does the tape add something?
I survived my dd graduation party and I had everything ready without too much stress. I made her a banner and hung up pictures for each year, so that everyone could see how she has grown. Many didn't think she had changed much. I stamped 3X 4 cards so that guests could jot her a note of encouragement, I made her hat box for cards, 8 centerpieces for the tables and the food. Gotta love Pinterest for ideas. I thought I would share some of the pictures. Tomorrow is the big day, the actual ceremony. It is hard to believe that I have one graduating. Where does the time go?
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping in for a visit.

Graduation themed food. Diploma Swiss cake rolls and Pirouline cookies wrapped with pull and peel Twizzlers. I also made Banana Split Bites which was a piece of strawberry, banana slice and pineapple slice on small picks and frozen. Then dip in chocolate and add nuts or coconut to top. These were a big hit.
Beautiful watercolored card! Thanks for sharing your party decorations too, I love the idea of blank cards for writing advice and that hat box is fantastic!
