Retirement Cards

 Two former co-workers are retiring, former because I retired last October! Here are the
cards I made for them:

 



 The flower card uses MFT Stitched blooms (all cut our of scraps of
Stampin Up cardstock) , the second card uses Stampin Up High Tide and 
Taylored Expressions Adirondike Chair die. Both use Happy Retirement
from Taylored Expressions Day in Paradise.  Looking forward
to celebrating with them!

A few fun challenges:
Card 1:
Cut it Up #273-flowers and retirement make me happy 3/23

Card 2: 
 Just Add Ink #643 -Blending and white 3/15

Both cards are so peaceful and relaxing - just what retirement SHOULD be! Love the water scene looking through the window on the 2nd, so much fun!

Two fabulous cards - obviously I should prefer the snippets one - but they are both equal to me. I do love the use of strong colours as well.

Gorgeous cards Donna! I love the little scene that you've created for a relaxing time at the beach. That's exactly where I would want to be when I retire! Your blending is fantastic and I love the pops of colour against the white. Thanks for playing along this week at Just Add Ink. Rochelle xo
