Congratulations on your Graduation

My eldest son's girlfriend graduated with a first class business degree at Reading University earlier in the week so I decided to create this explosion box to put her gift in.  It is actually black, I don't know why it is showing up as Navy Blue in the photographs!

My inspiration came from Samantha Clayton you can find the box that she created on her blog Mixed Up Craft.

The papers are from the Kaisercraft Indigo Skies paper pad, I chose these papers because at Reading University they have this shade of blue on their gowns.

The stamps are all from the JustRite Stacking Sentiments collection and the numbers are from the Crafter's Companion Die'sire Classiques 1" Number Dies.

Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

The Graduate

My eldest son graduated from Reading University this year - he achieved a first in his Primary Education degree, he also received a first for his dissertation and was marked as outstanding for his school placement, we are very proud of him.

He has almost completed his first term teaching and I have eventually managed to create a layout using a photograph of him just before he handed in his dissertation along with one of the photographs from his graduation ceremony in July.

I decided to print the photographs in black and white, it was so sunny (also very hot) on the day and the photographs are all very bright which made it difficult to find papers to go with them - I'm pleased to say he liked the end result.
