This week at
it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing to take us on a trek through the music of the 80s by saying, "Bette Davis Eyes" which just means that she would like to see a face (or faces) on your project.
This is what I did.....
Made this for my Middlest who graduated (with Honours every year!) from grade 12. They are planning a Commencement....grad ceremonies at schools 'round here have always taken place in the late fall (usually November), so hopefully it will be able to go ahead. Middlest decided to not apply to college/university this year....he's not just sure yet what he wants to take.....and besides, back when applications were due, it was looking pretty grim for in-person attendance at any post-secondary schools due to the pandemic. I think he'd quite enjoy urban/regional/rural planning but I don't know if he's ever looked into it when I suggested it....afterall, what would I know about what he might excel at.....I've only known the child for 18 1/2 years. *sigh* I do know when I went with him in the transport truck (as he's gotten his AZ license and works for our company) he spent a good portion of time complaining about the bypass in the city he was delivering to, including placement of lights, curbs and the bypass itself. So, I'm thinking, I'm pretty durn close with thinking a career in Planning might be something he's suited for. Not stuck behind a desk the whole time, and the ability to use that big brain of his....sounds like a plan to me. I'll just have to get someone else to suggest it to him. lol (Hmmmm....that paragraph makes my Middlest sound a bit ornery....in truth he's awesome, very easy-going....but if you know of an 18 year old who actually thinks their mom might know a thing or two about what they might like....welp, I'd love to meet them. (: )
Digi is from Bugaboo Stamps....and I can't link to them because their site is down....and a quick little detective-like search has made me suspect that the shop is closed. Does anyone know anything about that? I really hope it hasn't shut down. You'll be able to hear me wail clear across Blogland if it has. Bugaboo Stamps were my first digi stamp purchase and I do so love Jodi's images. I will be super duper sad if they have gone out of business.
Why not give our challenge at go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

Super cute card, Jan! Congrats to Middlest!!! And OMG!!! I was shocked to find out Bugaboo had closed. I wonder why. I think the stamps were very popular. That's a shame.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and that you're enjoying your summer (or as much as one can given the circumstances). Big hugs!!!
Love all the mmix of papers on your card that you pulled from the Photo this week. Your little grad is as cute as can be as well. Great job all around and I am happy to have you in our gallery! Take care!

Such a sweet card! And congrats to your son!! In a couple of years, he’ll realize you’ve got some good thoughts!! It’s a teenage thing…
ReplyDeleteI love your card and I know exactly what you mean about not hearing what mom has to saw...I've been through it twice, and, well actually my husband doesn't hear me many times about health/wellness related stuff (after all, I'm a nurse, right?). Congrats on a job well done (to both of you)! I also love your card, but I really don't like that it seems you are always letting me know one of my favorite shops are closed/closing. NOT BUGABOO!!! BTW, ADFD seems to be gone too:<
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Graduation card Jan!! I'm sure your son loved it. I hope you finds a course to suit him. It is such a big decison and so difficult time for them as there are so many choices out there. Good luck Mum!! Thanks so much for joinging us over at Watercooler Wednesday! Stay safe! :)
