Here’s what I’ve been up to recently – graduation announcements! My youngest graduates this year and I’ve put off getting these together until almost the last minute. So here’s what we’re doing. 
This is a 5 1/2 x 7 3/4 announcement. I’ll show you how it opens – 
The belly band slides off and the Real Red/photo lifts up – 
The 2012 and inside are done in My Digital Studio. (I still need to add the open house info.) The tassel is rolled Real Red card stock that is cut at the ends.
Supplies
card stock – Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White
Etc – Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, 1 3/4 Circle punch, My Digital Studio – Frames With a Flourish and Noteworthy Alphabet, Corner punch (retired), oval punch
I hope to finish them soon! All the pieces are finished – still assembling 
Enjoy!
Here are all the retiring lists! Happy shopping! Hugs, Fran
