Graduation Already!

I can't believe how fast time is passing.  Our seniors will graduate Saturday (right, day after tomorrow).  I've finally finished my congratulations cards, so here are s few that I am pretty happy with.  This first card is unusual, I know,  but it is intended for my very special student.  I've spent 6 years as her Special Ed. teacher, and one thing I know for sure is that monkeys are her favorite animal!
 Monkey from Cricut Create a Critter, paper from K&Company.
 Font and shapes from Silhouette, designer paper from K&Company, I'm sorry that I don't remember where the brads came from.  The idea came from a blogpost on smallbitsofpaper.  This has been entered in the graduation challenge at creativecutterroom.


Wonderful image from Bugaboo, digital paper and sentiment from a kit called ConGRADulations, and red designer paper from K&Company.

All in all I will make 15 cards.  I have worked with quite a few of the students in this graduating class so it is going to be a little odd to have them gone.  The rest of us still have five days of school after the graduates finish.  The kids are pretty antsy, hope we all survive...  Lots of tests left!

Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment.  I love reading your comments.
