Hot Air Balloon Graduation Card box

I found this adorable idea on Pinterest and I had to re-create it for 2 special girls! They both have been best friends since 5th grade and both graduated together and are both going to college, though they are going to different colleges I know that they will be forever friends!

the boxes I bought but re-decorated them by cutting out 12"x1" ( I think there were 24 strips per side) strips of light brown card stock and weaved them to look like a hot air balloon basket. I did 3 sides since I figured no one would see the back of the box. 

My local party store was able to order the 3' balloons and the net for me :)

I added their Senior pictures to the sides of the box and added the statements " Time for you to Soar" and " The Sky's the Limit". For the top of the box I added a grad hat, diploma and Congrat's which I found on the SIL site :)

I made each of the girls Congrat's Banners.

The centerpieces I made for the tables :)

Big Crafty Hugs,

SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE.......

That I have been chose to be apart of 

Here is a little bit about myself:

My name is Jennifer Lorist, but all my friends and family call me Jenn :) I married my high school sweetheart in 1997 ( 16yrs ago ) and have two wonderful kids. Ryan will be 14 in June and starting high school in the Fall and Megan will be 11 in April and starting Jr High also in the Fall.

I've always loved anything crafty, at 13 my grandmother and I took oil painting classes together. From there I found a love for tole painting and still do it on occasion.

In 2004 I was introduced to the Cricut Bug as I call it, and have been in love ever since. It makes scrap booking our family albums so much easier.

I just recently bought a Cameo, and oh my this machine is flawless. If you don't own one, I suggest you run out and buy one soon :)

I hope you follow me and my new design team sisters on this wonderful new adventure!!

Big Crafty Hugs,

Jenn's Paper Crafts :)
