And another one grows up

 One of my very long-time friend's 2nd daughter graduated from high school.  Although I haven't gotten to know her as an older child, I knew much of her a small child.  I have had the privilege of watching her grow through photos on facebook and celebrate her accomplishments in athletics.  Her parents are dear to me, and I miss the time we used to get to spend together.  I'm thankful social media allows me to keep up a little on their lives.  She is off to college in the fall and I have no doubts she's do amazing! 

Tis the season

 Graduation season!  I had so much fun creating this card for my friend's daughter.  I used Cricut DS to cut the cap, and the diploma and the letters of her name.  I was able to curate the colors to match that of her high school and found the perfect background cardstock in my stash to finish it off.  I used gems from my stash for embellishments and the stamped Congratulations is from a Stamp Simply stamp set.  I used a number stamp set in my stash from the Stamps of life to add the year to the diploma.  This is a 4x9 slimline card.  There is spectrum noir glitter pen on the tassle and the bow on the diploma.  I really hope she liked the card.
