Please excuse our regularly scheduled programming

I have been asking myself this question, "Why am I killing myself making cards that match a theme when I desperately need to make cards to send to people now!?"  I have this thing where I feel like I need to stay in my weekly theme.  So, please excuse the interruption to the regularly scheduled "Strength and Hope" week for a fun graduation card I needed to make for my husband's cousin!  This is cased from Jackie Topa.
