Simple, oh so simple, graduation card.

Thursday.  Yes, Thursday.  Can you believe next Friday will be June 1st?  Crazy talk!  Today I want to share a graduation card I made for a distant cousin.  I had a grand, somewhat elaborate, sketch drawn out and was all prepared to work on it Friday night.  But then life happened and we spent the night outside with the neighbors and it was after 10 before I got inside to work on the card.  Mind you the next day was the garage sale, dual birthday party and graduation party so there would be no time to work on my elaborate card :(

Within a few minutes, I was able to switch gears and whip this up.


I realize this is very simple, even bordering on plain, but the recipient was a boy so I figured it was okay :)  The school colors were red, black and grey/silver.

Hope your week is going along great.  Things are running smoothly here, as in we're going with the bumps as best we can.  Ha!  See you tomorrow!  Have a fab Thursday.
