Lasting Memories-A Summer's End

This week at Lasting Memories we are celebrating the end of summer, and we would like you to show off what you do to end summer. With the boys both in college one of our rituals is returning to college. My layout is from when we took James to Purdue last year to start his college career. So here's a peek into the incredibly small dorm rooms at Purdue. And it is much smaller than my dorm room was the University of Michigan!

Purdue College Note Card

   James still needs me! LOL He called yesterday because he interviewed a Purdue Engineering Professor that impressed him big time because he was so warm, caring and helpful. And let me tell you that Prof must be AWESOME because I rarely hear James excited about an instructor! LOL

  And even more impressive is that my 17 year old wanted to write a handwritten thank you to this Professor but that a store card was not good enough in James eyes. He wanted something special and he wanted his Mom to make it! So apparently the child thinks I have some talent worth using! LOL To be fair he also asked me to make his graduation thank yous and announcements. But he has left for college and there are days I wonder if he remembers us. LOL

 Supplies:

Paper and Stickers: SportsSolution, Petaloo Glitter Sheets, Bazzill

Die: Spellbinders Labels 4

Tip: I brushed the back of the sticker with cornstarch to take away the stickiness. I then placed foam dots on the back to make the train (Boilermaker) pop out and given the impression it is headed our way.

Go Purdue! (Shhh! don't tell anyone a Michigan Wolverine said that, lol) Our house now supports Michigan, Purdue, Indiana University, and Ivy Tech. Talk about a house divided!
