Today I have two cards to share with you using a new set called Sombrero Hat. Living in Texas, I knew I had to use this set to make a few Cinco de Mayo cards - where else in the country is this such a celebrated holiday? Certainly not in Pennsylvania where I grew up!
On my first card I added the sombrero image to the School Sheep image. My daughter will give this card to her Spanish teacher. I used Sketch Inspiration 312 and lots of bling on this card. The maracas, sentiment and digi papers are part of the Sombrero Hat set as well!
I made a second card using the sombrero hat, sentiment and digi papers. This one is for my LSS owner who hosts a National Scrapbook Day retreat. For the second year in a row, it falls on Cinco de Mayo weekend so we will break pinatas again this year. What fun to watch a bunch of women whacking at pinatas and then scurrying to pick up as many embellishments off the ground as they can! LOL
For this card I used Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps sketch 98. Slowly but surely I'm checking sketches off my list as I challenge myself to use every S&S sketch in 2012. Not sure I'll make it, but I'm having fun trying!

ReplyDeletewith the sombrero hat set is a perfect card for daughter's Spanish teacher. Hope you have fun at the scrap retreat!
