Un mini para un graduado

Here's a minialbum I made for a friend who graduated

from High School in Sweden. He studied to be a sailor.

And it's my first try to make a mini out of paperbags.

This patterned paper is from Landstoken, a Swedish

brand. And it's how the hats of the graduates look like. 

There's not many decorations, as it is meant for a young

man, and NO pink colours involved at all. All his family

waited outside the boat where they had a little goodbye

lunch. It was a very sunny beautiful day in Stockholm.

At one o'clock there was this typical noice from the 

boat and everybody came out running. All graduates

soon found their families who gave them hugs and lots

of presents and flowers to hang around their neck.

Then parents invited to something to drink.

After that we walked away to a boat the family 

hired for the party. Casper was so surprised 

- family managed to arrange everything

 without him noticing! 

Grandparents and a lot of friends came to congratulate

during the afternoon, some left and others came. 

Parents were happy! The striped patterned paper is

from Inkido, another Swedish brand who made papers

with graduation theme. 

There was an abundance of food; first light snacks as

mozzarella and tomatoes, fruit and peanuts. But then 

a grill was smelling delicios tempting everybody to eat

grilled beef, melon etc.

A balloon was held in place by this heavy silver thing, 

and all guests were asked to write a greeting in a book

for the graduate to remember this day by.  

That's how a party for a graduate can be made

in Sweden!!! No specific rules; every family decides

how to do it the best way. We liked this!
