Hi and welcome back to my crafty space. Today I’m going to tell you about my son, because I am so very proud of him. Two years ago at 16 he opened his own landscaping company and managed it all on his own. Occasionally I would throw him a customer from a Facebook post, but for the most part I had nothing to do with it. In addition to his own business, he started taking college classes at our local university, while taking a full load of AP classes in highschool. He has continued to do so through his senior year of high school to pay for college. I may have shared that he injured his knee during the first football scrimmage of the year, so not only did his Senior year start off awful, but then he found himself not attending the last 2 very important months of school for this pandemic. Somehow he has graduated in the top percentages of his class, and he will start college officially as almost a Junior. Holy Crap… I wish I had been that dedicated at his age. He has no idea how very proud I am of him, because he won’t take a compliment and gets embarrassed. I guess, that’s why I’m telling you all, that he is one awesome kid! And now for his Graduation card….
I stamped the You Did Good stamp with Memento Ink and colored my image with Copic markers. If you are interested in Copic Markers, highly recommend Scrapbook Pal as they are family owned with quick shipping. I then matted the image in black and red card stock. I dry embossed the Pewter paper with a Darice Graduation Hat EF and again, matted with red and white card stock. My card base is a standard A2 black 110# card stock. I finally stamped the cover sentiment and inside sentiment with Versafine ink.
Copics used:
E 00, 21, 11, 13, 59,57, 55
R 59, 46, 29, 24, 21
C 01, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7

Wow wow wow what an amazing son you have there Joy and I too wished I was that dedicated at that age, I probably would have had a nice bank account today and a successful business, your son truly has his head screwed on at such a young age. Well done and I can see why you are so proud of him. Congratulations and that is such a gorgeous project you have created too. Love it. Nice work.
