My brother Nevada graduated a few weekends ago from the University of North Texas with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Let me tell you, we are beyond proud. He is married with three kids and struggled for a while because he was stuck at a job he hated for not a lot of money. His way out was going back to college. It was a long and rough road, but he persevered and accomplished his goal!
I made this super simple card for him using an SVG file and my Cricut Explore. I used a cuttlebug folder to give it a little bit of simple elegance. The frame in the center is just perfect for this cut.
The stamp set is from Close To My Heart. It is great for college and high school graduations because it includes numbers for the graduation year.
