Oh, The Places You Will Go! NBUS #134

Hello Fellow Travelers and Happy Funday!

I have the pleasure of broadcasting today from inside a fun new challenge that just started this year. The incredibly talented card artists behind Words 2 Scrap By have kindly asked me to join them today as their Guest I-Teamer, along with the fabulous Carol L. of Our Little Inspirations! I am so honored! I love the word challenges available to us in Blogland right now and I hope you will join us in playing in this one!

The Words 2 Scrap By for this challenge are: "Oh, The Places You Will Go! " 

Who doesn't love that wonderful book by Dr. Seuss?! In the spirit of those inspiring words of new beginnings, I made this:

I reread the book for this challenge and found I had forgotten how profound it is and how worth reading it is for children of any age! It covers all the usual enthusiasm I remembered, but it is also practical and realistic about those times when you'll lose, or you'll be Left In The Lurch, or you'll be alone ... such hard times ... but wait, you've got brains in your head and feets in your shoes, so there isn't anything you can't work out or get through!

YAY! Hal E.Luya! Anything is possible!

For my congradulations card with limitless possibilities and a balloon overflowing from the car trunk, I used lots of NBUS: Papertrey Ink's "Enjoy the Ride" stamp set and die; Papertrey Ink's "Rainbow Stripes" die; tags are made with a new-to-me SU punch (I don't remember the name); the balloon is Lil' Inker's "Balloons" die. The graduation cap, diploma, and stars are Mrs. Grossman's stickers, and the sediment is made by Darnell's computer. The banner is not NBUS, but I don't remember the brand and there is a raccoon in the backyard so I can't go out to the Playhouse right now and check. It's a long story.

I used lots of snippets on my card, so I'm also linking my card with the fun challenge at Pixie's Snippets Playground.

And I'm linking with the always popular Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, where the prize is always a fabulous $50 gift voucher!

I would love to see what card or scrapbook layout or other project (graduation party goodies?) you come up with! Besides graduations, how about for someone who is retiring, or for a newly married couple ... let's see what those brains in your head come up with! Thank you for playing along!
