Con”grad”ulations
It’s all done! School is out as of yesterday and summer vacation has officially begun in our household. Graduation night was Wednesday evening and my boy had a great night and we were definitely proud parents. Yes…I finished those 200 place cards on time…yay! Now I remember why I never make a design more than once. 
I get my joy in designing a project…definitely not by mass producing them. To those of you who do…hat’s off to you!
Now that the event is over I can share the card I designed for the occasion. I paired up my Reach 4 the Stars stamp set with a new CHF Backgrounder, Graphic Tapestry. This is such a great image, with lots of detail and it works well on both masculine and feminine projects. I’m loving the new American Crafts glittered chipboard letters I picked up the other day. I believe it is the Thickers Roller Rink Glitter package. They are such a fabulous size for cards and you really get a lot of letters for the price. I think I need some more!
Congrats
Supply List:
Stamps: Graphic Tapestry Backgrounder by CHF

And here’s my very handsome graduate. He cleaned up pretty well didn’t he? It was a special night and I actually got some great pics from a boy who usually runs from the camera. I’m feeling a scrapping bug coming on.
Last of all…I have a winner for the Sweet Bee draw! Random.org picked #3 as my winner. Congratulations Jean Beck! Please e-mail me with your address and I’ll get it off to you!
Take care!
Great card… I love the sentiment!
Great picture of your son…. you must be so proud.

This is a gorgeous card Julia and your son is very handsome! Congratulations on his graduation.
Wow to the card and wow to your son! Pretty handsome! You must be a pretty proud mama! We just did a grade 8 grad for my daughter and that was pretty exciting. The grade 12 is even moreso I think. That stamp set is a favorite of mine - doesn’t matter what you do with it, it just shines! My hat is off to you for doing 200 place cards… I don’t know that I could do it!
Great card… congratulations on your son….. have a great weekend.
Congratualations to your son. This is a big accomplishment. Wow to your card; this is awesome. What a cool verse on the card.
