Graduation time

My son's ex wife, Annette,

had a little boy when they

got married, Jake.  I have

always considered him and

her children with her second

husband as my own grandkids.

Jake is Bri's older brother.

He just graduated so of course

I had to make him something.

I saw a cute grad cap box that I

will put a "little something" in

and also made him a card.

 His party is next month.  Bri says

he is planning on moving to Colorado!

He has an aunt and uncle and cousins

there and a job lined up. 

 I hope he will like it there.  I know

his sisters and brothers will 

miss him, though.

This is the box closed and opened.  I

think it turned out so cute.  The school

colours are red and white.

And his card.  I love how this turned

out!!!  The congratulations is embossed

in gold to match the gold accents

of the rest of the card.  I thought about

doing it in black but it just wouldn't have

stood out as well.

 

My grandson, Wyatt, has a birthday

in a few days.  This is Andy's youngest.

I saw this Star Wars card and thought

it was adorable.  It's made from

an owl punch.  It's amazing the things

people come up with.  It is also a

pain in the neck to cut out all those

 pieces (some of the punched pieces

have to be modified) and glue them

all together.  So I don't do it often,

but I couldn't pass up this card.

I have to take B'Elanna to her "beauty

parlour" appointment.  She LOVES 

taking rides in the car and  I love how

soft and fluffy and pretty smelling she

is when I bring her home.  I'm sure

they love my money.  So it's a win 

all the way around!
