CASology Week 150: Graduation




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.

Head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

    Amazing cards Joyce. Love the non traditional colours. In answer to ur comments on my blog we don't do graduations here until university. So it's not really that common to have to make a graduation card

    I love all of these and every time I see you use those embossing plates I tell myself I must dig mine out and leave them where I can see them and will remember to use them! I especially love those thank you cards - such fun, bright colours. And big congrats to Rachel!
