Cardz TV 3D Challenge #1- Graduation

Hi there!  I'm so happy to announce that I'm a new Cardz TV Design Team Member!  This week's challenge is to create a 3-D project for Graduation.  For my project I made a milk carton using the Artiste Cricut cartridge along with a little card.  I made these for my son for his 5th Grade Graduation!  Both the "You are my shining star" sentiment on the milk carton and the "You did it!" sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Cardz TV "It's All About You" stamp set.  The "Happy Graduation Day!" sentiment on the outside of the card is from the Cardz TV "Happy Days" stamp set.  You can purchase both of these sets HERE.  The faces on the stars are from the Cornies Face Assortment from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I hope to see you link up your project this week!  Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)
