Graduation Album

My beautiful niece Kennedy just graduated from high school which is hard for me to believe.  It seems like only yesterday that she was looking up at me with her big, beautiful blue eyes in her flower girl dress telling me that she had waited her "whole life for this day".  I could so relate!

It has been amazing to watch her grow into the beautiful, motivated, and intelligent woman that she is today.  My entire family couldn't be more proud of her and we are so excited for her future to unfold.

I wanted to do something special for this big milestone.  With the help of her family, I created this album for her.   Earlier in the year, I emailed her immediate and extended family.  I asked each of them to write a message to Kennedy.  Luckily I had taken her senior photos last fall.  I paired each of their messages with her senior photos.  I'm so excited to give her this album on Friday at her graduation party.

I thought I would share a little bit with you.  Each spread contains the message from a loved one, a quote to inspire her, and her senior photos.  I kept the design for each page the same but changed the colors based on the photos.

Here is her cover...

I ordered the album from Blurb and received it last week.  I'll just say that Friday cannot get here soon enough and I'm so thankful that all of Kennedy's family helped me by sharing their love for her. I love this design so much and plan to do an album for each of my kids just sharing little stories from their lives.

As Kennedy heads off to college in the fall, I know she will treasure the words from her family who adore her and support her in all that she does.
