Bloggers Challenge- Anniversary

My daughter graduated again this year from Ohio State University with her Master's Degree in Education!  (Last year, she graduated with her BA).  So, on this Anniversary- taking creative liberties here- I made a card using Technique Junkies techniques called Depth of Field and layer up.
 The Red (Crimson), Gray and Black are The Ohio State University school colors. Images are Grad hat is Stampin Up (retired) and sentiment Close to My Heart.
  To join in the Bloggers Challenge for this week, join in Mr Linky Below.  BC 'Mom' Lisa's Blog can be located HERE. 
  It was very hot- a blazing 90 degree day and a 3 hour ceremony- the grads were sitting in the hot sun.....

 Here we are prior to the ceremony. I had to take a fun pic of Katie's from the side:

 At The Ohio State University, the ENTIRE class graduates together- all Bachelor's candidates, all Masters, Doctors, PhD's....etc  There were over 10,000 grads in the ceremony- here they are filling up the end zone. It is amazing to see this process of the grads coming in- the PhD's get their names called individually, the rest are awarded their diploma's in the 'exit march'. 

I love the flag raising ceremony:

And finally, in the sea of graduates, here is Katie receiving her diploma:

Wahoo!!!  What an accomplishment!  We sure are proud parents!!!



Thanks for stopping by!
