Graduation Gift Ideas!

Hey there!! I've been uber busy with ending the school year & creating gifts for graduation, along with supporting a dear friend this past weekend as she got married! I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like, because any free time I have has been going to designing cards.

I interviewed this week at a local scrapbook store so that I could earn some moolah to fund my addiction, and I am nervously awaiting result for the Paper Crafts Idol Challenge designers to be announced tomorrow morning. I submitted about 11 designs, but there were so many BEAUTIFUL cards, that it's going to be a tough decisions.

This past week I have been working on matching graduation cards and frames for two young adults that I nannied for many years. The male design goes to my Victor who is graduating from Cate School in Carpanteria, California and the female design is going to my Sparky who is graduating Santa Margarita Catholic High School in Santa Margarita, California. Victor is heading to NYU next year, and Sparky is studying Pre-med at Rice. I am SO proud of them.

All frames and cards we made from simple embellishments (fibers, buttongs, pop-up dots and rhinestones). Victor's frame and card was designed from the "Boyfriend Collection" by Cosmo Cricket, while Sparky's frame and card were designed from Basic Grey's "June Bug" collection. Next week I will add a frame and card collection for Cosmo Cricket's "Delovely" line for an 8th grade graduation! Hope you enjoy the ideas!

I'd love to make one for you for any event such as a wedding, brithday, retirement, graduation!
