It's a Celebration - Creative Sketches 43H

The challenge with Creative Sketches here is not only a sketch challenge, but it is a sketch challenge with a holiday/celebration theme. This challenge was very timely as I needed a graduation card.
The owl punchie card was partially cased from Glenda Mollet here
