That's My Boy!

  After many years of hard work, a lot of determination, and not much sleep, my son has received his Doctorate in Education.
His wife and 2 sons have planned a celebration for later today (for which I still have 2 batches of cookies to make).  
I've made 2 cards for the occasion.  That was a mistake, because now I must decide which one to take.
 
Card #1
 (using a MFT stamp and MFT hexagon stitched dies)
 
Card #2
(using CTMH stamps)

  2. Deb, both cards are truly great and love the owl graduate in particular; however, it's only fair to tell you the color challenge is "only and all". Don't miss out on our prize though...you would still be eligible providing you put a comment in each DT's project.
