Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for a new challenge at CASology. Our cue word this week is GRADUATION. My oldest daughter graduated from high school last week, so this is a very convenient cue word for me. Here are the two graduation cards I made for her. They are both made with PTI Retro Style stamps and dies.
This card was from her father and me.
Here is some extra inspiration for you. I made this card for my youngest daughter to give to her sister.
While I was at it, I made some very simple thank you cards for Rachel to use. These cards are 3.5 x 5.

| Congratulations Rachel! |
So, how about you? How are you inspired by GRADUATION? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.
Joyce Mehrberg (that's me)
