I am the proud Big Sister of a Purdue Graduate! My little brother graduated from Purdue last weekend. I wasn't able to attend the ceremony, but they did have a web cast, so I watched it from home. Did I mention I'm a proud big sister.
I offered to make the invites for his grad party, and the end result wasn't even close to my original idea. The following card was my first end result.
After watching the web cast of the graduation ceremony, I realized I wasn't done! The school colors are gold & black, but what I didn't know is each school of study has its own tassel color. The Mechanical Engineering undergrads had orange tassels. I figured I can add something orange; no big deal. I bought a 3" scallop circle punch, but it was way too big for the already completed scallop. I tried to find a circle punch bigger than 2", but that's easier said than done! And in a serendipitous moment, I found I own a Cricut cartridge that cuts circles! How exciting. So, I ran a bunch of orange paper through the Cricut, and I had orange circles! Woohoo!
And here's the final card that went out to family & friends:
And that's the story of my little brother's graduation party invitation!
