My daughter has had a very busy spring and summer. She graduated from Yale University with her PhD in Theology and has gotten married.
She didn't attend her graduation in person but opted to have it sent to her in the mail. Since we were not able to attend her graduation I asked if she would take a picture of her and the diploma once she received it.
Here is the card I made for her. The colors for her area are blue and white, and I had just bought this ephemera pack with the image of this stack of books so I thought that was fitting.
- Bobunny - Sentiment stamps, white embossing powder
- Paper Studio - Ephemera pack (books)
- Taylored Expressions - Confetti die
- White Gel pen to add a frame around the card
Here she is holding her diploma, she was really shocked because she said her undergraduate diplomas were a lot more impressive then this one.
I don't think I have mentioned it on my blog before or not but she had to divorce her first husband, for her privacy I will not go into the reasons but she has found love again and we are happy for her. He has 3 kids and wants to stay near his kids so she will have less job opportunities than she would have but she picked being with him, and we are so glad she has found happiness once again. Since they both have been married before they didn't want a big to do.
- Hot off the press - Mystic Garden Papers, stamps, foiled Fancies and Card base
This was a kit that I bought awhile back and although I have used the papers, stamps and foiled images before I have never tried them with this pre fold card base.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie
