Congratulations!



Hi there!

Happy Friday to you!  Just popping in quick here to share with you a couple graduation cards I made for my nephew and niece.  My nephew Tres(Alva Lee III) graduated from high school.  Such a fine young man!  Here is a photo of him with his friend and families...


Tres is the grad on the right along with his Mom and Dad.  His Dad is my husband's brother.  The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties and the scallop circle die is from Mama Elephant.  I made the cap and tassel.  I'm entering this card over at Craftaholics R Us and Simon Says.

Next up, is a card for my great niece Julia...

The die cut frame is from Lawn Fawn .  The stamps and sequins are from Paper Sweeties.  And, here is a family photo with Julia in her cap and gown...



Her father, Dean, is my nephew.  She will be majoring in physical education at the same college her big sis, Hailey, attends.  Julia is a bubbly sweetie who loves sports.  She played tennis and basketball in high school.

You still with me?  Just a couple more pics that I took of my roses, which are in full bloom.  And, here they are...



Well, that's all for now.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  It's going to be a hot one here...in the 90's...whew.  I may have to stay indoors and stay cool!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs,
Maria
