Graduation Card

My youngest cousin graduated from high school last month and her graduation party is this weekend. My mother needs a card to give to her so I offered to make one. My cousin is an avid reader - in fact, I don't know if I have ever seen her without a book in hand. This is what I came up with for her graduation card.


This card features a cutter file from Ginny's Happy Cuts. The background paper is from K & Company (Classic K Margo Paper Pad). I thought the print went really well with the bookshelf. The sentiment is cut from vinyl - I really love using vinyl for my sentiments and other wording. I find weeding the vinyl letters much less cumbersome than applying adhesive to small letters. The colored sections of the books and the graduation cap were cut from several colors of mica/metallic paper (from The Paper Temptress). I cut 2 of the grad caps and pop dotted one on top of the other for some added dimension. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!
