Giraffe Graduation Shaker Card

Hey Kadoodle Bug Fans,

         I hope you are having a great week so far!! I don't know about you guys, but last week was crazy busy for me. On Wednesday, I went on a Field trip with my niece bowling and to the park all day. On Thursday, I celebrated my birthday with my family at the park. We had barbeque because I was craving it and had ice cream cake. The cake was sort of a disaster because it was melted a little bit by the time we ate it. On Friday, my nieces only had a half a day of school, so I watched them till their mom got off work. On Saturday and Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day at two locations. I was beginning to wonder if I would finish the card on time, but I finally finished it. Yay!! : ). I used two different files from Kadoodle Bug Designs to create this card. I used Cutie Katoodles Bathtime Giraffe and Cutie Katoodles Graduation Owl.

My favorite parade is the Rose Bowl Parade that airs on New Years Day. I just love all the flowers and colors on the floats they always inspire me. So my inspiration for this graduation card was from the Rose Bowl Parade this year. UPS had a float with a giraffe on it wearing glasses re. When I saw that float I thought it was so cute, so I knew eventually I wanted to make a card with a giraffe wearing glasses. I decided to make a shaker card and put the giraffe on top.
