Graduation Day, 2014

Our cousin's grand-daughter is graduating soon from Ayala HS in  So Cal.  This is the card, and gift card holder I made for her.  The graduate is a digitally painted graphic designed by  Sassy  Studio Designs and cut with  Spellbinders S5-59 Gold Labels 4. The Sentiment Circle follows a Photoshop tutorial by Jen White in the Feb Premier at Scrappers Guide and includes another circular sentiment with a mortar board on it designed by  Tracy  Wray.  The gift card holder follows a tutorial written in 2008 by PatStamps.

The sentiment in the gift card holder is the Ari  Pencovici quotation:   "Graduation is only a concept.  In real life every day you graduate.  Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life.  If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference."  And the sentiment inside the card includes the Thoreau quotation, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.  Live the life you have imagined.
