I didn’t quite get to all of the projects I had planned for Laura’s graduation celebration (i.e. napkins Gocco’d with “Class of 2010”). But I think I did a pretty darn good job considering how busy I have been.
First up: Graduation announcements and party invitations, designed in Adobe Illustrator and printed via Vistaprint.
I carried the colors, fonts, and shapes from these pieces onto all other paper party elements.
Round cards to display menu items, including this perfectly chocolate cake:
And a “CONGRATULATIONS” banner strung from twine with photos of “Laura through the years” down each side:
The dining room table was simply set with a red tablecloth, roses from the graduation ceremony, Laura’s diploma and tassel, and wallet-size senior photos. And in a last minute stroke of genius, I decided we should use her mortar board as the guest book. Sweet idea, right?
We also displayed Laura’s senior sports collages and the completely awesome peacock painting she completed in her senior art class. (I’ve already bragged before about her athletic and artistic accomplishments, and these photos are further proof.)
Next up: Find out what we did with three bags flour, four boxes of sugar, at least 12 sticks of butter, six boxes of pasta, and several pounds of produce.
Look at all of this! I’m so impressed … and I know your sister was thrilled that you did all of this for her! Such a great job!
I was wondering how you did the congratulations banner. It’s awesome!
What a material of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable know-how on the
topic of unpredicted emotions.
