This is my second and last gift for my daughter and a couple of her sorority sisters.
I printed the image off of Google Image search and printed it on photo paper.
Cut it out to fit the scrabble tile and put a couple layers of Dimensional Magic. It was my first time using it so I still need to perfect the environment. Waiting a night before proceeding to the bail.
Then glued (E6000) on the flower bail that I bought online at an etsy shop, waiting for an over night hardening.
Strung the brown hemp, added two metal beads on either side of the bail. Added the paw print (to represent the college mascot at Northeastern University; The Husky) charm which I also got from an etsy shop to a split ring (that was hard as the split ring is so tight and small).
Tied the necklaces using a sliding knot. Hope they like! Oh, by the way I used their initial from the scrabble tile to distinguish whose is whose, however the flower bail took up half of the letter... oh well.

DPhiE keychains
I made these for my daughter and two of her sorority sisters. This and the next items are actually post graduation gifts which I will be mailing today. Hope they like them!
I printed the image onto photo paper, used my 1" circle punch and used a strong glue to glue it to the metal bottle cap.
I used a bubble (sorry don't know the official name) clear dome sticker to cover and protect the image.
I proceeded to use 7 links of a thick chain and placed it through the bottle cap and the key ring.
I bought some lobster claw charms from Wal-Mart in the sorority colors (gold and purple) and added them to the links for a little dangle accent. (Ignore the pink blur in the photo - my G2 cell phone is experiencing a white balance issue)

Graduation Cap
My Daughter and I decorated her cap last Thursday evening. She was graduating the next day and it looked great!
We used glitter cardstock from Michael's. I hand cut the sorority letters DPhiE also out of purple glitter card stock The year was also hand cut. I could have used my cricut for all the letters and numbers but was not sure it would go cleanly through the thick glitter cardstock.
Kristen glued on the letters, the string of purple gems and the ribbon.
We are so proud of her graduating after 5 years (Physical Therapy) from Northeastern University Summa Cum Laude! She now has a year of clinicals stepping forth into PT.
