Graduation is here!

This year we don't just have HS Graduation but also Nursing School Graduation! Today, however, is Tonasket High School Graduation and we have a party to go to for one of our daughter's friend's sisters. They are just the nicest family so we are so happy to be able to join in celebration with them! Below you'll find the 'card' (coaster accordian style) I made up. I lifted it from someone, sorry, I don't remember who-though you will know who you are.....I used different papers but the idea was all hers! Thank You!! It was my first time really doing this so I learned a few things along the way but I think it came out alright....

This of course is the front.....

It still needs some finishing touches....of course I'll trim up the ribbon but I wanted to seal it for good before I do that--

I bought this ribbon at Target in the $1 section. I think there were 6 different colors....I thought, $1 great deal.......yeah, well, the reason it was such a 'great' deal is because there is only 12 inches of each color........oh well!

The next photo shows it opened.....

I got the wording from one of the MANY magazines I have. I just happened to take it with me this past week to look through and to my surprise there was a Graduation idea!!! Lucky me! It says, "You have come to the end of a long journey--and to the beginning of a new one. With so much ahead of you, your goals will help you to achieve greatness!! In the pockets on back list 10 goals for yourself. Conceive it. Believe it. Achieve it."

This final pictures is of the back--the pockets and the tags, in the pockets, for her to list her goals. I'll write a little something on the striped page to the far right--Congratulating her etc, etc..... The pockets look kind of plain.......so I'm not sure yet if I might add a little something to them to 'spice' them up a bit or not......sometimes less is more but sometimes less IS less....heehee---I'll see.......
I was staying with the pink and orange theme because--well, I LOVE pink and orange together but ALSO it goes with the color theme of the gift we got her..........

The picture is posted below....it's a canvas tote (Bath&Body Works) filled with shower gel, lotion, spray, a pink and orange bath mesh sponge a wall flower nightlight with passion fruit guava (pink and orange) bulbs, towel with her name and "Oh, the Places You'll Go"-Dr. Seuss of course! So everything kind of has that orange/pink color scheme......

Now on to Tyler's......

I'll post those pics later.......hopefully sometime this weekend as I WANT to get his stuff out in the mail Monday morning.

Until next time...................
