12x12 Graduation Momento Card

Graduation day has come and gone. Hooray!! In the weeks leading up to our daughters graduation from high school - I found myself pondering just what I was going to do for her in the way of a card. I definitely wanted it to be something special - a sort of a way to show her how she had changed over the years. Of course, all those school photos that had been taken of her from kindergarten to present. I could finally put them to use - some of the older ones haven't been hanging in the house for what seems like forever. I used my favorite program - photoshop and created this card. I placed all the photos and labeled them with the grade and year it was taken. Then I used some scrapbook paper and finished the front off with heart shaped fasteners and silver alphabet stickers for her name.


The inside of the card I wanted to drive home the real point of how she has grown - how appropriate to use her baby photo from the day she was born and her most recent photo in her cap and gown. My husband and our other two children each wrote our own little message on paper and stuck them to the card. I used a wonderful scripture on vellum to add a little more meaning to the page.

Basically, I wanted Kayla to have a good starting point for the scrapbook she can now create for herself.
I am pleased with the finish product - what do you think?
