We started last week off with moving announcements, and today we’re helping to start the new week with a modern graduation announcement from Karly at Sweet Beaker. Â Karly worked with the family of a recent high school graduate to come up with a modern-meets-classic announcement design incorporating a modified crest and the high school colors of navy and white. Â Fun!
From Karly: At the time I was doing research for the design of these announcements, the royal wedding was just around the corner and I came across an article about Kate Middleton’s new coat of arms — ahh!  Hold the presses!  Instant inspiration!  Several sketches later, a simple monogrammed crest emerged, which can also be applied to other stationery extensions (thank you notes!).
We opted for a split layout with pertinent event information on the left and a pattern on the right with matching envelope liner. Â The versatile pattern is great all by itself, but also allows space for Jordan to attach a senior photo to the right of the announcement. Â School colors, a little hint of silver, a crest, pattern and optional photo = success! Â Such a fun project, through and through.
So cool – thanks Karly!

This is so classy. A far cry from my own high school graduation party invitation. Which I made with a Kinko’s template late one night with my bff. The best part was the photo we used. We were in a colored contact lens phase. Now I HAVE to go find that thing.
Thank you Nole!
