Our theme for May is "Graduation".
What I want to show you today is that a graduation card doesn't have to have a diploma or a cap/gown. I know that I don't have many graduations to celebrate at this time in my life, so, for me, it hasn't made sense to invest in a set that is specific to these themes. Some of the same images you might use on a birthday card will work for graduation.
Include an inspirational grad type quote to the inside, and 'voila!'
Card details:
Cardstock: Bazzill
PP: Scenic Route
Ink: Stampin' Up Night of Navy

Here are some great quotes to get you thinking, courtesy of http://www.quotegarden.com/graduation.html
- There is a good reason they call these ceremonies "commencement exercises." Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning. ~Orrin Hatch
- The tassel's worth the hassle! ~Author Unknown
- Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference. ~Arie Pencovici
- The man who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after. ~Newton D. Baker
