It's graduation time again!

Hello and welcome back! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy and getting lots of time to craft! I'm on a hiatus from work for a couple of weeks, which gave me some time to make a whole bunch of graduation cards. My church suggested that we try to do something special for all those kids who are missing out on ceremonies and celebrations, and I thought, "I can do that!" Here are some of the cards I made:


Cards 1 & 2 - CASEd from Bonnie O'Neill

Card 3 - CASEd from Stesha Bloodhart

Card 4 - CASEd from Pat Tecza


Cards 5 & 6 - CASEd from StampinINK

Card 7 - CASEd from Debbie Mageed



Card 8

I CASEd all of my ideas from Pinterest, except for this last one, which I'm entering in the challenge this week at As You See It.



My favorite part of this project was matching the school colors! Luckily, I have a large stash of retired cardstock colors and DSP so I was able to find just what I needed. I also raided my retired stamp sets for most of these cards. Those old sets come in handy!

Now to get these cards addressed and in the mail!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
