I am getting an early jump on some graduation cards! I made these two super quick, same layout too, basically. I have several nephews and nieces and great nephews graduating this year, so getting ready! And this set makes it super easy, love that! I created a little pocket inside to insert some money too. I will show that another day though. :D Up next we have the new 'One Free with Three set called You've Got Style...here is what I have done with this set today:
I tried to make the card look like runway lights on the dress, to make it go along with the fun saying, lol! I think this makes a fun kinda encouragement card for a friend!
