I have been busy behind the scenes over the last couple of months working on both of my nieces scrapbooks for their graduation parties. I plan on showing you the most embarrassing layout for my niece, Kelsey soon. I decided to work on graduation cards on Sunday evening. We were winding down for the week and Mother's Day, so I created five graduation cards for the parties we are invited to this month. I made two for boys and three for girls.
The designer paper I used is in the new summer mini called Island Oasis. I love the bright colors. The stamp set I used is one that is retired from SU!, but it is one of my favorite grads sets called Great Grad. If you don't have a graduation set yet, the new one in the summer mini, Go, Graduate (below) is a cute one and would work great on this money holder too. My sister ordered this set last week, so that means I get to use this one...hee hee! Right, Connie?
I put a flower on the girls and left the boys blank in that area. I didn't think the boys would like a flower on their card. In the first picture I took, I had a $20 bill in one of the cards. I wanted to show you how it held the money. Guess what? Photoshop Elements would not let me open the picture with money in it, so I would not be counterfeiting US currency. WOW! What a program to recognize currency! Just tuck a check, gift card or check under the little striped half circle and slide it into the card base. Oh, this are fun to make and receive.
