It's Graduation Time!!! (Updated)

My niece who is also my Goddaughter is graduating from High School in June. Just a couple weeks away. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. She was just a little girl what seemed only a short while ago but now she has grown into a very kind,warm, smart, caring, beautiful and so much more young lady. I wish her all the best on her new journey in life. College will be such a great experience in so many ways. Well of course I had to get out the crafting tools and make her a Money Card. After all isn't that the best gift for someone entering a new phase in their life? I love to scrap and create and she also loves this hobby. So of course I did some searching on the internet looking at all the wonderful Gradation projects that are out there. I put together the following card to send to her. Hope you like it.


Here is the outside and inside of my Money holder/Card. I am still trying to decide if  I should add something to the inside yellow paper. Any thoughts??

**UPDATED HERE **---  This is what I ended up adding to the inside portion. I stamped the "For you" and then cut with my Cricut Expressions the "Graduate" and added the white pen lines like on the front numbers.

I also made a baby Owl but decided not to use it anywhere here. But here he is. Kinda cute little fellow isn't he??!!

Here are the supplies I used:
Kraft CS CTMH
BO Bunny Back to Basics for the yellow and red dotted papers
Bazzill CS-Brown and Black
Tim Holtz idea-ology Chain Tassels
Uniball Signo white pen
Black Hemp CTMH
Antique Copper Brads
Cricut Expressions /Gypsy  for the numbers using Mini Monograms and Wild Card cartridges
White copy paper for the diploma
