~Graduation Card

My hairdresser's only child (a daughter) is graduating from high school in a couple of week.  She sent out graduation announcements (I know her mom is VERY proud) and even invited us to her graduation party.  Unfortunately, we can't make the party, but I did want to acknowledge her special day.  This was also the PERFECT opportunity for me to get some use out of Teddy Bear Parade.

I cut the graduation doily at 4" from Happy Graduation and the Teddy graduate from Teddy Bear  Parade at 3".  Teddy was pop dotted from the base.  I used Artbooking for the year and cut it twice in gold and purple.  There is also a banner on the inside of the card that I cut at the width of the card that says "Be Yourself".  I might have also included a little fun $$$ in the card.  To be spent on something fun and frivolous, of course.  hee hee

~Graduation Card

My husband asked me to make a graduation card for a student that he tutored in math many years ago when he was a substitute teacher  He kept up with this young lady and her mother over the years and now that little 5th grader who struggled with math is graduating with a 3.95!!

I found the school colors on the internet (gotta love google!) and made the card below.  We wrote a check and wrapped it in pretty ribbons and that went under the clip on the good luck doodad inside the card, along with a handwritten note.  The cut on the front is from Happy Graduation, cut at 3 inches.  I inked all the white pieces of the card with burgundy distress ink.  This was a very simple card to make, but the colors just make it look so elegant.  I hope she likes it, but I'm sure as  a 17 year old, she'll be more focused on the $$$.  Thanks for stopping by!
