This week's TSC challenge was to make a graduation card, and I just happened to need one for a very special graduate! Brandon is an honor student, who also achieved the honor of Eagle Scout, an honor very few attain in the Scouts.
Brandon's aunt is a friend of mine at work, and she gave me these wonderful photos to use. His baby photo is huggable! And he turned into such a fine man too. Congrats Brandon! His school colors are red and blue, and the graduates are all wearing golden cap and gown. His aunt found these embelli's which were perfect. The little ticket in the center was a BRAK to me from Dawn (Flowergal36) Thanks sister! The scripture in the center was also a gift to me from Michelle (Shellapoo) is from SmARTworks and reads, "I will instruct you in the way you should go; I will guide you with my eye. " Psalm 32:8 I think it is perfect for a graduate. (Hugs Michelle!)

I checked out the gift box too and yep, it's FABULOUS!!!!! There is no limit to your crafting abilities and awesome creations! Lucky for all of us to get to see them. TFS. : )

Wow, another masterpiece. I really like what you have done and the gown and the verse are so perfect. I like the primary colors and what a keepsake this will be for Brandon. He looks like a special guy.

Pat, this is really incredbile. I suspect that must have taken some time just to plan. What a kind and generous card to make for a co-worker's son. I bet he'll get such a kick out of seeing his photos in an actual card.
