Hello Everyone! Happy May! I am back today with a very belated blog post. Last year my brother graduated from high school and I made him a fun gift that I wanted to share on the blog. For some reason the photos of this project disappeared from my iPhoto so I was unable to. About a month ago when I opened my iPhoto it had a message that it needed to reconfigure itself and after it was done these photos had magically reappeared! So now I get to share it with you almost a year later than planned but it is perfect timing for anyone who needs some grad gift ideas for this year.
I wanted to come up with a unique idea for my brother's graduation gift and when I saw a gift card book and then another idea about a college survival kit with gift cards on Pinterest I decided to combine the two. My brother is attending the University of Kansas so I purchased gift cards that he could use in Lawrence.
Then I cut some paper I had on hand to make the book part. I purchased scrapbooking paper in black and gold colors for the decorations in the book. I used my Silhouette Portrait and printable gold foil for all the sentiments in the book.
I got him a Starbucks gift card to help him stay awake while studying.
I got him an iTunes gift card to keep him pumped while studying and a Wendy's gift card to help with the hunger during an all night study session.
I got him a movie gift card for when he needed to take a break from studying (which he used to see the latest Star Wars movie, good choice!) and a Walgreens gift card for stuff when he was feeling a little under the weather.
I got him a Target gift card for any other essentials he needed and a KU book store gift card for school spirit items. I made all of the gift card pockets with black card stock and my Silhouette Portrait. I loved the way it turned out! What do you think?
