Grad Bash Blog Hop

Welcome to the Graduation Day Blog Hop! This hop is going to provide you with lots of graduation ideas for all those graduates in your life.

If you have come from Sandra www.365daysofcricut.blogspot.com, you are in the right place. If you stumbled upon my blog and want to play along, you can do so by starting at Nadia’s Blog (www.nadiasbeautifulmess.blogspot.com).

I decided to make a lei that any graduate would {love} to receive!
I used a Child's Year cartridge and cut the diplomas at 2 1/2".
I didn't care for the "ribbons" that were attached to the diplomas, so I snipped them off.
Next, I cut a long piece of cello wrap, wrapped pieces of candy in it, and then tied a long piece of twine between each section.
 
Then, I tied on pieces of green tulle.

I thread the twine through the diplomas, rolled up the $money$, and tied it all together with a bow.
Yes, I still have my cap and gown from college (and I knew right where it was!).
It's fun, festive, delicious, and the money can be put to good use!
I moved the dress form to get a "full" picture, do you notice anything out of the ordinary?! Yes, my Little Stinkerbella could NOT let it be. It was hilarious!
In this pic she's saying, "Peek-a-BOO!"
 
Thank you for playing along. Your next stop is Jazmin www.jazzyscards.blogspot.com.

Here is a list of all participators:
ConGRADulations to all of the grads this year! <3 Kristy
