When I first met Derek-my husband's nephew- he was a shy five year old boy, about the same age as my youngest now. He was fascinated that I could draw people and animals, and I was fascinated with his never ending curiosity. I watched him from the back standing tall and proud walk down the aisle after his father holding the rings for our wedding and a few weeks back, I watched him walk down the graduation aisle, standing about four more feet taller and so much more full of pride as he was about to receive his high school diploma. Congratulations Derek!
There's a new sketch up over at The Craft's Meow Blog today and the playing time is open all month long! My card today features the graduate's school colors three, yes, three! of The Craft's Meow stamp sets: Retro Foundations, Grads & Dads and Typically Teen!
