As the school year is drawing to a close, it's time to start thinking about graduation!  My big graduate is 'graduating' from preschool this year and she is so very excited to be joining her big brother and sister in elementary school this fall.

Doug Applegate has illustrated another fantastic Penguin Pal in this darling petite set of 7 images and sentments called, Congrats Grad!  It so cute and clever for any graduate and the Reach for the Stars Border Die is the perfect compliment.

I started with Jen Del Muro's SFYTT and some Lime Twist Out of the Blue 6x6 papers from My Mind's Eye.  I stamped the penguin in Brilliance Graphite Black ink and colored him just a bit with Copic Markers.  I cut out the Reach for the Stars border twice and used one on the banner hanging down (and added some stitching in the center) and then I just trimmed 3 of the stars from the end of the die cut and added them to the blue sheet of paper and added some Crystal Twinkles in the centers.

 Would you like a free stamp?

When you purchase the London Market Project Pantry and any full-size stamp set (new or previously released) you'll receive the Mom A la Carte FREE! 

The A la Carte stamp will be automatically shipped to you if these two items are on your order.

This is a card I made last April using the Mom a la Carte stamp.
