My favorite sister is graduating from UIW today. Sure, she's my only sister, but she's my favorite nonetheless. I cannot wait to watch her walk across that stage and get her hard-earned diploma. I don't know if her two kids realize how hard their momma's worked to get there, or how much she's sacrificed to go back to school and finish her degree. I don't know if her husband Bennie knows how much I adore him for being so supportive. I don't know if my sister knows how proud we all are of her and of her accomplishment, or how happy we are to see her realize this goal. I do know that I love her to pieces, and that I've packed some tissues for that commencement ceremony . . . just in case. I love you, Amanda.
This card was totally inspired by Amy Westerman's graduation card here, but made with my A Muse stamps, some patterned paper from Luxe, some ribbon from Papertrey, and a big ol' red rhinestone brad, too. Good stuff.

Great card! Love the polka dot ribbon and the dots on the grad. Congrats to your sister. I'm always amazed and humbled by people who go back to school when they have families. Not an easy thing to do....
