Celebrate Graduation

I know that graduations are so different, unusual, unique than we have ever had them before. I am still making some regular graduation cards for my stash.  Here is a new die that I got from Frantic Stampers that I used along with some of my older dies. And a star embossed background.

Congrats Grad! You Did It!

Today I have to go to my Sons Girlfriend's College Graduation which is 90 miles away. I'm so excited for her.  She already has a job set up and her and my son are moving forward with their lives. I will get to meet her parents. It's just a crazy time of year before the holidays.  I made a card for her using a die cut (not sure of the maker) and some washi tape on an embossed background.

Congratulations on graduating from college

My daughter will be graduating on Saturday so this is the card that I made for her.  It is using an image from Mo Manning and a sentiment from TLC.  I was so excited to do it in her school colors and then she told me that she has a black gown.  I was also so excited that I made cards for the two girls, but I forgot about my daughter's boyfriend.....so I have to make one more.

Nurse graduation

I graduated from nursing school 26 years ago, and today I had my boyfriend's daughter (also named Lisa) graduate from the same nursing school.  It was emotional for me.  I will have my own daughter graduate next weekend and Lisa today so it has been very special.  I'm very proud of these young women.  It is great to see the enthusiasm and energy.  For this card, I used pre-colored images from the Paper Shelter and a sentiment from TLC.  I made this as an easel card.

Yay! Congratulations Graduate WooHoo

I know of someone who will be graduating from Technical College and then plans to go on to college this December so I made this card using an image from Miss Rach.  This image is available in the ETSY shop for $1.  The sentiment is from TLC.  I made the diploma by rolling up some paper and putting some twine around it.
