It's a special day today as my daughter, Kathryn, is graduating with at 2:1 Honours Degree in Marine Biology from Portsmouth University. It goes without saying that I'm very proud of her.
I've been so busy that I completely forgot to make Kathryn a card so I've cheated and while Sue & I were at the Doncaster Summer Crafting Show on Sunday, I got a kit from The Hobby House. I am a sucker for cute images and I thought the one on this card was perfect. I didn't manage to find a Graduation Stamp so Congratulations will have to do.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Julia, a beautiful card. Congratulations to Kathryn.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteWow what a fantastic achievement for Kathryn, congratulations to her! You are understandably a very proud Mum.
I too love the Hobby House cards and have bought the kits in the past for my 2 granddaughters (age 9 & 11) they love them because everything they need is in the pack, with details of how to put them together.
Your card is the result of lovely cards you can make with the kits.

Congratulations Kathryn enjoy your very special day xxlove the card julia I'm sure Kathryn will love it enjoy your day never foget my sons and grandsons love June xxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your very clever daughter, and as for not making a card way ahead of time like you do for work, you are human and things slip our minds all the time. You are not the first to buy a kit card, which is so much better than buying a completed card that's flat and boring. S o stop beating yourself up. X Ros
ReplyDeleteSome easy 3D decoupage is usually my fall back when I run out of time for a card. We Stampers each have some secret (or not so secret) vice like this. But yes you do feel guilty - I know I have been there. A lovely card all the same and you did get to use some dies.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Kathryn on her degree. This card is so cute. Decoupage is my fallback also the one I go to if I'm in a hurry to make a card. But this one is lovely.
Congratulations to Kathryn on her degree. I'm sure she will love the card, Hobby House produce some great designs and this one is so apt
