Take it Easy... You're Retired!

Good morning all!

Today I have another retirement card to show you.

This is a digi image that I coloured with Copics.  I cut out the picture above the bed and popped it up, then I cut out the 2 heads from pictures and popped them up also to give it some dimension.

On the inside it says, *You're Retired!*

I added a pocket to the inside that held this.....

The recipient was tickled pink and put on her *name* tag right away.

Thanks so much for stopping by today & have a lovely day!

Botanical Tea Brag Book

Hello friends!

Today I have a little wallet style, brag book to show you.  I found one very similar online and thought it would be quick and easy to make. Here's the link to it. I don't know the measurements of the one I saw, but I made mine 6x4" and 3/4" thick.  I used 6x6 and 8x8 pads of Graphic 45 *Botanical Tea* papers, they are such beautiful papers.  It holds around 32 photo's.

I did some fussy cutting from the 8x8 pad to decorate the front which closes with a magnet

I glued down the roses & birds nest just along the left edge so that I could slip in the photo mat underneath.

This one has a pocket which holds 2 photo mats

In the centre are fold out photo mats and 4 pockets, each holding a photo mat

Fold outs, can put photo's on both sides

The back of fold outs

Back of wallet

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit, hope to see you again soon.

Have a lovely day!

A Cut Above!

Hi there, welcome to my blog, I'm so glad you popped in!

Today I have another card to share with you.  

I saw this one on Pinterest

 I thought it was such a cute idea, and I liked the sentiment, so I decided to give it a try.

Here's my version...

I found the scissors clip art online, it was a free download.  The sentiment I made with my *Memory Mixer* program on the computer.  

Here's the inside, ready for me to write my message.

Thanks for stopping by today, have a nice day!

  

Pamper Card - 2nd time around!

I decided I didn't really like the last card I posted, so I took it apart and re-made it.  Here it is......second time around.

Basically the same *ingredients*, different style.

I changed the background to green & added the *retired* picture instead of the window.  I also printed out a narrower, taller version of the dresser, so that it would fit better.

A closer look

Saw this free download on Paulettes blog today, perfect for my card, so I made a hanging picture with it.

Also added Glossy Accents to her glasses

That's all for now, thanks for looking!

Pamper Yourself Card!

Today I have a retirement card for a friend to show you.

This one is a step card.  They are great for doing what I call *scene* cards.

All of the elements used are digital images that I have printed and coloured with Copic markers.  I have saved these over the years and so I don't remember where I got them from.  Some I purchased, some were free.  

As you can see in this picture, I cut 2 of the cup, duck and her arm to give some dimension.

I came across the following on Pinterest.... 

.....aint that the truth!  lol

Thanks friends for dropping by today, I hope you have a wonderful day.

Come back soon!
