Endings and beginnings.....

I made this card for my cousin TJ who just graduated from high school out in San Francisco.  I'm so proud of him.....he's an honor student, athlete and all-round nice guy.  What I remember most about him though is running into my parent's dining room table the day before my wedding as a toddler and sporting a lovely black eye the day of the event.  He's all grown up now though!

I CASED (copied and shared) this card from Dawn Olshefske's blog....she is an amazing stamper!

TJ's school colors were green and gold...and I made the tassel by removing the sides of our old (discontinued) taffeta ribbon....kinda neat!  

TJ will be going to the University of Oregon on a shot put scholarship (who knew!) this fall.  Congrats cousin!

Directions for this card are on Dawn's blog.   Have a great day everyone!
