I decided to take a break from student résumés and the time
gulping annual senior slide show! Ahhhh the annual Senior Slide Show..... Delightful to watch when the seniors see it for the first time… Painstakingly time consuming in the making!
Thank goodness
for Facebook! It is a smorgasbord of photos...the mother-load of scrap-bookin' or in this case a schmaltzy slide show! The students actually submit their "first destination/future plan"
slide. If they don't send me one in “a timely fashion” ("timely" determined by me of course) I threaten each and every
one of them with using their freshman ID photo. The words "Don't make me
use your freshman ID photo" strikes fear into their undergraduate soon-to-be-graduating from college little hearts. (Insert deviously wicked sounding high-pitched
Wicked Witch of the North laughter here!) Four years of photos - add some
'sappy' music...not a dry eye in the room! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
So...where to pop over to when looking for a challenge while taking a break from reality? Why Just Us Girls of course! Orange..White...and Navy color combo.
Used the 'negative' of this sentiment die cut. You know what THAT means... I have a navy blue 'thank you' to be used an a future card. Now...if I can just find it when I remember that I have it somewhere....
