Kindergarten Graduation & Stress!!!

So Saturday we are celebrating my nephew's Kindergarten Graduation. Just a little something while the family is together for a birthday party. This is the card I made him. I used School Bears from My Scrap Chick. Pooh Font and Locker Talk cartridges to boot. The base is from Penny Duncan and left over from my daughter's HS Graduation invites last year. The mortar cap is from SVG Cuts.

While working on the card my laptop just all of a sudden shut down. AHHHHH! I got it back up and it immediately shut down again. Third time wouldn't even come up. I left it alone for a while and did a system repair which decided it needed a system restore. At first I though it was from the Microsoft update yesterday, but I think now it was a Picasa update. Anyhoo, I'm not liking Thursday so much as the last two haven't been much fun!!! I'm rerunning virus scans (which was running 1st time around) and hoping for the best.
I'm hoping you all are having a much better Thursday.

Graduation Invitation

So My dear daughter will be graduating this spring provided she passes the state constitution test tomorrow. LOL
Anyway I was really inspired when I did her brother's invites in 2007 and she wanted something just as "spectacular" for hers. Since Christmas I have been struggling with what to do for her invites. Nothing was ringing mine or her bell. Anyway amazing Penny Duncan posted a couple of cut files today on her website. Thank you Penny!!!!!! And I was finally inspired! The Poem is leftover from my son's, but DD wanted it too. The other cuts are from SVG Cuts Graduation cards.

Graduation Bags

Here are some pictures of the Graduation bags that I made for graduation goodies. I used the shopping bag template that I've had for years from Donavan http://www.bydonovan.com/templates.html
I thought they came out real well. I only had problems with one. It was Galen's and it just kept coming apart. It was a great day for the parties and Congrats to all.
