Design Time Thursday! Graduation!!

Thank you for joining us for our new challenge! We saw some Beautiful Mother's Day card projects during our last challenge!  We appreciate you joining us and hope you will join us for this next challenge!

Theme:  Graduation!

It is so hard to believe that graduation is upon us! The school year went so fast! My girls only have a few days left then we are out for the summer!

 For my project I decided to make a photo frame picture plaque.
 It will fit a 2 X 2 1/2 photo.









First I removed the wire handle from the wall hanging and using Black Soot Tim Holtz Distressed ink I covered the entire piece.
Then I measured out my layers of paper, sanded the edges, inked them with walnut stain and attached it.
I took a chipboard embellishment and covered it with paper, stamped it and inked the edges. These mini graduation brads fit perfect!
I think the sentiment from Studio G is just hilarious! The Tassle's worth the Hassle! (Heat embossed)
I then fussy cut the word graduation out of some paper, sanded, inked it and added to the top.
I took the normally bright and fun ribbon and heavily distressed it to match the entire piece, then using my tiny attacher I knotted and stapled them together.


Cathie with the CCR supplied the Design Team with some great paper, ribbons, a wall plaque, and embellishments to work with for this challenge. Here are the supplies we received:
