Advice Layout for my Graduate

My daughter is graduating high school this week, and I was lying in bed last night thinking how woefully unprepared she is to face the world as it is right now, so I got up and started writing out a few words of advice for her. At first, I thought I would just put them in her graduation card, but those things get thrown away after a while, and I wanted something that would last, so I pulled out a shadowbox that I had purchased in 2023 but never used, and got to work creating an advice layout for her. It came together relatively quickly, so here is the finished layout not in the box:

And here are some details, starting with the fun sparkly B (for Brianna) and the butterfly that I found in my embellishment box when I was looking for some pocket cards to journal on:

Next is the layout in the shadowwbox:

And the final photo shows how the butterfly is only fastened down in the middle, allowing his wings to brush the side of the box and overlap the B:

Challenges: Heart's Quest Celebration of Love Challenges #29 - I used the optional theme of graduation since these are my words of wisdom to my graduating senior; NBUS #86 - my never before used schtuff is the little pink flowers I just purchased; The Outlawz Anything But a Card; Inspiration Station #85 - I was planning to do this challenge by scrapping some graduation photos from my son in 5th grade, and I may still do that, but I really wanted to share this project because it's for my grad!
