Graduation!

It's that time of year to honor special grads! This year I have several!
Many of us see and buy specialty papers we think will be great for a project because of words, backgrounds or other neat things, then we get it home and "what WAS I thinking?" !!
I liked this one because it said "Recognition", has tiny "class of" in background, and a diploma, flourishes, and neutral colors. That's all great till you want to add photos. Then what do you cover up? !!

Daughter of a dear friend (for 30 yrs), obviously special, and so is the beautiful photo invite. I decided to simply mat the invite with CTMH cranberry cardstock, add some CTMH cranberry organdy ribbon to overcast the printed ribbon shadow, alter the paper with CTMH cranberry marker and add some bling with stickles and prisma. There is still plenty of room to journal, add 2009 or other bling, if we so chose. Congrats Taylor!
