Retirement

My hubby's co-worker retired after 35 years of civilian service for the Air Force.  My hubby has worked with her for the past 11 years and we both have become good friends with her. She always loves to get my cards so I had to do an extra special one for her retirement.


I used paper and stamp from Hot off the press. Added a little bit of white gel pen to the center of the flower.


Hot off the press - Botanical Frames stamp set, colored w/markers and Mystic Garden paper
Spellbinders - Labels one, Scalloped Borders two and Back to basics tags dies
Martha Stewart - Seam binding
Safety pin
Taylored Expressions - Many mini's occasion sentiment stamp

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you enjoy a nice relaxing weekend!
