I just felt like starting off this post with a silly picture! (that's a scratch on her nose in case you were wondering;p) So, today is the last FULL day of school for the boys and then tomorrow they just have half a day. Then it will officially be SUMMER BREAK! YEA!!! We are all so worn out from waking up early, rushing through the mornings, worrying about getting dinner done on time so the boys can bathe and go to bed on time. It's been exhausting these last few weeks! Andrew has actually been asking me to homeschool him so I told him I'd look into it and we'd do a "trial run" over the summer. I highly doubt we will ever go to homeschooling for him, mainly because he just wants to do it so he can sleep in and stay up later. Regardless, it won't hurt to have the kids on some sort of schedule over the summer, and the extra education will just help them out for next school year also. So, along with the end of the school year comes Graduation. No one I personally know is graduating, but I am the Committee Chair for the Spouses Club's Scholarship Committee so I had the honor of giving two scholarships to two deserving high school graduates. Since I had never done this before (and I was very short of time) I felt I needed to make something to put their checks into. Here is the inside of the card I made:
I used the Stampin' Up slit punch to hold the check in the card and just wrote a short note above it. Here is the outside of the card:
I used the graduate cap from Kim Hughes' stamp set called U R A Hoot and the sentiment from Melanie Muenchinger's stamp set called Hand-in-hand. I stamped them in black on a plain white card and topped it all off with a black sheer ribbon. I don't know the school colors, or I would have went with that color combo. I think the cards came out nice and they served their purpose, so all went well.I hope you all have a great Wednesday and I'll talk to you this summer! (lol-only about 24 hours away!)
Until Summer-break, be blessed!!!

Awww Angie...your Angel is so precious! So this is the one who likes my music huh? You go girlie! :)
I had to LOL about what Andrew said...that's my LV too! She asked me how come I couldn't homeschool...yeah right! Little bumbs! LOL!
That card is simple and gorgeous! Awesome job! The recipients will love it!
Hey, Angel is so cute, you should make calendars with her pictures on it, she looks so much like Andrew.
It's funny that Andrew is asking for homeschooling, because Kyle is been asking the same thing for the past two years, and now that I'm not working, he is more persistent.
Hope you have a great summer.
Love
