Happy Friday!!!

Good morning everyone!  It's finally Friday.  I am so ready for the weekend.  Last night I whipped up a couple of cards that I needed.  One was for a graduation and one was for a birthday.  I did both cards at 4.25 x 5.5.  And both are very simple.  I like quick and easy.  And I'm still so new to card making that it took me a couple of hours just to do these two.  I have the hardest time picking the colors I want to use.  That's what seems to take the longest for me.

This is the graduation card.  Boy I need to work on my picture taking skills with my phone.  The card is beige with a gray background.  The school's colors are blue and white so I used a blue background for the banner with white on top.  And I used blue ribbon to accent it.  This was used with the Happy Graduation cartridge for my Cricut.

This is a picture of the birthday card I did.  The card is for my son's best friend.  They play football together so I did his card in their school's football colors.  The card is white cardstock with a gray background.  The helmet I cut using my Cricut and Sport Mania cartridge.  The helmet is black and light brown cardstock.  The stars were made in the same color as the helmet using a star punch.  I then stamped "happy birthday" inside the card.  I'm starting to really enjoy stamping.  But I am wondering is there a good way to clean the stamps after use?  Any suggestions?
