It’s that time of year, school’s getting out and celebrations for Graduations at all levels are happening. This week at Fantabulous Cricut we want to see your “You Did It” projects celebrating those special grads in your life.
My daughter is graduating from preschool this week. She’s super excited about this big event and keeps practicing her “Gradulate” songs.
Here’s what I made her for her special day…..
Yes- this is another Target dollar bin find that I’ve been hoarding in my “to do” pile for a while. It’s actually a Paul Frank pencil holder that I just recovered with yellow paper.
The graduation cap is cut from Locker Talk and I added some yellow twine to make a tassel. I welded my daughter’s name together using Opposites Attract and added a few layered stars to the top of the pencil cut from George and Basic Shapes.
She’s 5 and it’s only preschool graduation so there’s no need to purchase an extravagant graduation gift like a computer, leather luggage or a even a car (Ha!) ’cause she’ll be just as excited for some……
La La Loopsy’s!
