Guess Who's Graduating?

This is a very special card for my sister in law, Peggy. She is FINALLY graduating from college - at the prime age of 67! Last time I talked to her she said that she was probably going to need a cane or walker to "walk the walk" and pick up her diploma. I recently won a gift certificate over at Art Impressions Stamps and purchased this stamp with her in mind. I added the little hat from Go Graduate (SU). The yellow panel is also stamped with the hat but you probably can't see it unless you click to make it larger.  Hope I'm getting the school colors right here!

We're SO VERY PROUD of you Peggy!

Thanks for stopping by........have a great weekend.

    This is the best card, love it and how perfect, she will get a real chuckle out of this one. That is fantastic to be graduating at 67, so I guess I should keep studying. :) Have a great weekend, Happy Mom's Day, hope you are doing something special.

    Love this card, Lynn!! Send on my congratulations to Peggy. I can truly appreciate what she is accomplishing. It took me more than 21 years to complete all my college +, all the while raising kids and working, too. How super of you to make such a special card for her!
