Good morning!  Today’s the day . . . Our Craft Lounge is releasing and giving away 24 new stamp sets today!!  WOO HOO!  I was so excited when my friend, Cambria, asked me to take part in the OCL Blog Hop; there was no way I was going to tell her no.  I was also really excited with the set she asked me to use – School’s Out.

My oldest daughter, Kate, graduates from college on May 11th and School’s Out worked perfectly for a gift card and envelope!  I started out with a crisscross card, that actually turned into the envelope.

Instead of using a single pull out, I made a card.

The card, when opened can either hold money or a gift card.  (Of course, Kate you won’t be getting a Starbucks card from us. – Just in case you see this.)

And there’s still room to leave a personal message!
