Throw Your Cap in the Air

This month over at DigitalScrapbook.com, we're throwing our caps in the air with a fun challenge all about celebrating the graduates!  For my take, I chose to highlight J-one year post–high school graduation and already making waves! She's working at Vanderbilt as a phlebotomist (her dream employer!) and will be starting nursing school this fall. I just had to document this proud mama moment with a layout that captures her success, growth, and the bright future ahead. 

I started with this adorable graduation-themed quick page from digitalscrapbook.com, which already had so much charm with its vintage damask-style background, dotted center panel, and classic grad elements like the cap, diploma scroll, and that fun "The tassel is worth the hassle!" word art. To make it my own, I added a bold navy frame around the photo spot to help my image pop, swapped in a different arrow for a bit more dimension, sprinkled in some glittery navy stars for a celebratory feel, and included extra word art to tell a bit more of the story.  Just a few little tweaks brought it from quick page to personal keepsake!

If you’d like to recreate a similar look or just add to your stash, I’ve linked a couple of the main kits I used below. They were perfect for adding that polished, personalized feel to this keepsake layout. I’m also including a few extra graduation-themed kits that are totally worth checking out—great for celebrating every cap toss, diploma, and proud moment! 








It’s always so rewarding to take a ready-made quick page and give it a personal twist. With just a few extra elements and meaningful touches, this layout became a treasured snapshot of a huge milestone. Whether you're celebrating a recent grad or reflecting on the journey, I hope this inspires you to dive into your own stash, explore a few new kits, and create something special. Don’t forget—every tassel tells a story! 

Until next time, scrap your story, share your heart, and always be kind.
