When I saw this week's sketch over at Try Stampin - Or Not - On Tuesday, I knew I wanted to use it to make my card. Here is the sketch:
and my card:
My youngest son, Shane was to graduate from the 8th grade on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, when we got there he had a major meltdown and we felt it was better for him to not participate in the ceremony. Ah - the adventures of having a child with autism - you just never know what's going to happen! But before we left they did want to give him his diploma, so we met in the hallway outside of his classroom, where it was much calmer and quieter, and he received his diploma. I can't believe my baby will be a freshman next year!
If you haven't checked out the Try Stampin - Or Not - On Tuesday's challenge blog, be sure to stop by and check them out. They have fantastic sketches every week.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow with another card for you!
Hi Lori, this sketch makes for an excellent graduation card! The stars are a perfect compliment to the diploma. Very well done. I'm sorry your son wasn't able to fully partcipate in the events. Crystal
