Graduation Dilemma

Yes, Graduation Dilemma, not Graduate Diploma.

A friend of mine emailed me asking for help making graduation invitations.  The dilemma - I don't create "on the fly," I find inspiration online and add a little Crafts by Beth flair. 

The easiest part was her son is graduation from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and houndstooth is the perfect background for a card.  The hard part - designing.

Valerie and I put our minds together and came up with a BEAUTIFUL design!  Oh, yes, we are both patting ourselves and each other's back.  This card is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Introducing the first, one-of-kind creation from Crafts by Valerie and Beth!

Alabama Houndstooth Greeting Cards

It happens every day; you walk to the mailbox, pull out the mail, and shuffle through a stack of ever-present bills and junk mail.  But every once in a great while, hiding among the dull and dreary stacks of envelopes, you find something that makes your heart beat a little faster and brings a smile to your face - someone has taken the time to send you a card.  What a great feeling!
