It’s time for another Cupcake Inspiration Challenge and for the next two weeks the theme is GRADUATION. It certainly is the season for these cards. If you had a loved one graduate I hope you had an amazing day with them. I was lucky enough to spend last weekend with some loved ones for their son’s graduation and we had an amazing time. Today’s card can be used for more than just graduation. It could be used for any celebratory event. I hope it inspires you to make some beautiful cards. So let’s get started!
