It's crazy to think that my second child just graduated from high school. I remember many days desperately watching the clock for the anticipated arrival of "daddy" from work, so I could have a "mommy" break. My two boys are grown. How exciting for them and for us.
I chose to do this layout in blues and greens, because his favorite color is dark blue, and his high school colors are green, black and white.
I only used cardstock as my paper resource. To create the printed backgrounds, I used shimmer mists and color sprays. The tag/flag stamps are all from Close to My Heart. The accent embellishment stamps are also from Close to My Heart. The thread like stamp is from Stampin Up. I embossed these thread circles as well as the "Bravo" sentiment.
On a side note, I used Adobe Spark to create his graduation announcement (left side). I have the free version. It is so fun to work with and produces professional results!
