This is what I've been working on for the last 2 weeks--collage books for graduates. "Success" is for a niece graduatingfrom high school. I found these greattag books at Big Lots with covers alreadydecorated, and I added more elements.
Inside pages were plain cardstock,which I covered with scrapbook paper,added quotes & random advice,and embellished.
This book (below) is for a nephew receivinghis associate's degree from a local technical college.It is harder for me to create thingswith a "masculine" look,can't use flowers and sparkles!
Found some great quotes aboutfishing, which he likes...and helikes a good joke, too...
The 'Celebrate' book (below) was created for another niecegraduating from high school. Little tagin a 'library card' style pocket in the backwith congratulations message & fibers.Little envelopes in the back of each bookfor a cash gift...
Three books down and one to go...I still have a book to make for acollege graduate...Congratulations to all the graduates this spring!"What lies behind usand what lies before usare tiny matterscompared towhat lies within us."-Ralph Waldo Emerson
