I’m really excited about this giveaway! It’s perfect for any graduating college senior (like me) or even a high schooler!
Sarah Watson is a 2011 graduate of the University of Florida, where she studied Journalism and News Design; she now works in South Tampa as a graphic designer at a local marketing agency. After doing countless invitations, Christmas cards, business cards and graduation announcements for friends and family members, she decided to extend her craft to friends-of-friends and new friends, alike. This is where YOU come in! If you are a graduating senior, she wants to help you commemorate the momentous occasion!
3 lucky College Prep readers and soon-to-be graduates will win a custom graduation announcement by Sarah Anne Watson Design. (You must be graduating from high school, college or a graduate program in Spring 2012 to enter).
Winners will receive the artwork for a custom one-sided, any shape graduation announcement. Value is $25. (You handle the printing in your city! So convenient, and no shipping costs! Sarah is happy to consult on printing, paper and envelope choices.)
Here are some samples of designs Sarah has designed. How cute!
(Designs showed have a watermark, but will not include the watermark in the final design.)

Love these!!!! I'm graduating from college in May and was wondering if it was "classy" to send out announcements. Some people I have talked to only send them out for high school graduation and others liked the thought of sending them after college. What do you ladies think?
I think it's a momentous occasion that deserves to be recognized! I had countless family members and friends tell me that they were glad to receive notification of what I'd been doing and where I was moving to. (I included an insert that told about my new job and where I'd be living) It's a lovely gesture that includes your family and friends on the celebration of a major accomplishment — and it's certainly not a request for a gift as some say!

📌 Save this post! Can’t get over the MAGIC that is @backtonature.nj’s Christmas Market during the holidays! 🎄🌟🎅🏻🧣The decor this year is on a new level. If you need to get into the holiday spirit (or pick up speciality gifts or more decorations for your home), 100% recommend making the drive! It’s worth it ❄️
When you don’t actually feel cute but then kind of end up feeling cute because you put a bow in your hair, slipped into a dress that fits, and swiped on your favorite red lipstick 💋 @hillhouse @annmashburn 🎥 by @carterfish, maybe I’ll post the video without music so you can hear her hyping me up, because you can’t imagine the crowd the bore witness to the making of this Reel 🫣
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
These are adorable!
These are adorable and would be so unique for graduation!
The graduation cards are so fun & cute, I love the design of the grad with her diploma!!

Carly, what a wonderful giveaway! My mom and I were just talking yesterday about how I needed to find some cute ones- I love that last one!
These are amazing! The sample one of the Uf graduate is actually a family friend of ours! What a small world!

These are adorable! I was just talking last night to my friends about needing to order announcements asap. Love it!
These are simply adorable! I definitely will be ordering some for my graduation in May!! xo
Sarah! These look gorgeous! I'm glad to see that you're doing so well post-grad. Miss you co!
