Graduation Card for Nephew Nick

Earlier this month we traveled to Nebraska for Nick's high school graduation.  Since Nick is a very talented wood worker and designer I wanted to make a unique graduation card for him.

As I was thinking about ways to add a money holder to the card the thought came to me that the year is 2010 and how cool it would be to show a 20 dollar bill and a 10 dollar bill. I figured out the correct dimensions to hold the money but now I needed to have an easy way to remove it so I decided on making a tab that would slide in and out.  I was so pleased when that worked but I saw another problem.  When the money tab was removed you could no longer tell what year the card was made. So I started hunting, found some number stickers and solved the problem.
