Today is the big day! My oldest is graduating from college! It's been 5 years - for good reason. Like most people that go to college she started having doubts about her major. She started in Accounting and started leaning toward Marketing. Before it was over she decided to finish what she started and then some. She's graduating with honors and two bachelors degrees!
I can't tell you how frightening it was to pop that little button off the top of the cap and start hot gluing glittery paper to the top! Elisha's a girly girl.. she wanted lots of bling - a pearl trim around the edge of the cap, her name in pearly letters, and lots of paper flowers with pearl accents and die cut gold leaves.
Supplies:
Glitter Paper | Recollections
Pearl Letters | Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)
Pearl Trim | Hobby Lobby
Paper Flowers | Iamroses.com
Die Cuts | Spellbinder Romantic Vines, Foliage
Pearl Loops | Hobby Lobby His & Hers

Big congrats to you and your daughter, Jeanne . You must be so proud! Love how you decorated her cap!
Really stunning, Jeanne :)
Sounds like your beautiful baby loves school as much as I did. I, too, got two degrees in four years. I even graduated with a 4.0. Gosh, I'm such a nerd! LOL! You've done such a beautiful job with her hat, love! Absolutely stunning! LOVE all the girly details, and the yellow flowers stand out beautifully against that black, glitter paper! Way to go, Mom! Give yourself a pat on the back for two jobs well done... Getting your baby through college with flying colors and creating a treasure to showcase her special day. Hugs!
