Vibrant Graduation



Hello!

Today I am sharing the card that I made for my dear friend. I have known Kalyn ever since I was born- a whopping 22 years and counting. Our families have been through a lot together over the years. This girlie is truly like a sister to me- I can tell her anything. Even though I tried many times to convince her to stay in Washington, she went off to college. Four years later, she has graduated and I couldn’t be more proud of her.

With my friend graduating, I sometimes wonder if I should have gone to college. Granted, I have always thought that going just to go was a waste of time and money. It works for some people, just not for me. However I do ponder if my life would be different had I gone to college. Would I have found other interests or a different career path? Would I have met my “prince charming”? After daydreaming, I realize that I truly do love my life. I have a job that I really do love (and I’m the boss!). I also love the fact that I have time to pursue my crafting AND it’s part of my job. Sometimes it’s stressful (like now), but usually it’s every crafters dream. Do you ever have those “what-if” questions? If so, what are they?

I hope that this card inspired you! It was so much fun to create this card- definitely a design I’ll be going back to again!

Have a fabulous Saturday!!

  1. Great card! I love the yellow, pink and brown together and the jewels are the perfect finishing touch!

  2. Very pretty girl, and yes, I think everyone ponders the “what if” in life. Had I not gone to college I wouldn’t have met my adorable hubster, and I wouldn’t have the awesome job I have now!
    Good for you for being happy wherever you are!

  3. Beautiful!!! I love it, love the colors..the stampin..all in all is prefect!..what if’s?!! oh yeah..all the time..but a good look at the present makes me grateful for being where I am and for having what I have!! :)

  4. LOVE this…great design!

    What if’s…I always think that ‘things happen for a reason’…I didn’t gradute college until I was 40…

  5. Paulina, I absolutely LOVE the card! It’s seriously my favorite of all the ones I’ve seen you make . . . and even better, it’s mine to keep! I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Now we just need to coordinate our lives so we can spend more time together! I love you and I hope you know that you make me smile.
