Default Need ideas for grad announcements

I have 2 sons graduating this year - one from med school, one from law school! My med school student is married and his wife is making his announcements. She's EXTEMELY crafty. Well, my law school student wants ME to make his! I don't want to CASE my daughter-in-law's work, so any ideas??? I think I want to go elegant and simple but I'm stuck other than that! TIA

Mmmm... I think that it is Gina K designs that has a really cute set called "Dr. Feelgood". Very cute for the med student. The only attorney stamp I know of is a "Bella". Won't work for your son who is a "Fella". I am trying to brainstorm and come up with a cute attorney idea for you

*must think announcements rather than bad lawyer jokes*

Oh Blast - the first thing that came to my mind was "what's the difference between a dead lawyer in the road and a dead snake in the road?"


There are tire marks before the snake.

Sorry!

OK a gavel came to mind which is more Judge than lawyer -shame you aren't in the UK where the Lawyers (Solicitors) wear wigs and robes.

I think Monograms are always classy and maybe something patriotic in theme.

also Nestabilities for embossing a frame around will make it look really really nice especially in this situation.

Right if you want something less formal but still nice - how about a card with half a tie (school colors - plain colours but a "tie tack" with school emblem) down the left side and details on the right.

Will keep thinking....

OK - this is probably more along the tacky lines! :lol: but it might appeal to someone's sense of humor; there is a Money BG stamp on CHF....

Congratulations on both of your sons' accomplishments! There was a color challenge a few weeks ago with sahara sand, black and white that might work nicely for a graduation announcement. You might want to look through that challenge gallery. Also, notimetostamp posted this graduation card that could be adapted for an announcement: Grad Check Holder by notimetostamp at Splitcoaststampers. Good luck with your project!

It's not law/med school, but you can easily adapt my card:

Train of thought - lawyers...files.... mini file folder. Or, more humorously, lawyers..... briefs.......um, take it from there.

You guys (er....gals!) ROCK!!! Haven't decided just yet what the announcements will look like, but at least the ideas are starting to flow.

THanks for all the suggestions!

if you can't find these themed stamps doing a "google search" I would think you could use clip art printed out

I'm looking at some stamps from Technique Tuesday at the moment that have measuring/scientific/tools -for men's/teenage boys cards in general that I think are quite stylish/adult rather than cute. They may be worth looking at. And there are grid/notebook pattern backgrounds out and about I've seen these at Cornish Heritage Farms.
