A Retirement Card

One of my husbands co-worker's is retiring this week and he asked me if I would put a card together for the occasion.   40+ years for the same company is almost unheard of these days.  That's quite the achievement.


This image is from  Stamp Shoppe Creations, perfect for the gentlemen who is retiring - an avid 4-wheeler rider.  I do all my coloring with Copic markers. 

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:
Amusing Challenge - Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes
Scrapper's Delight - Always, Anything Goes
KK's Wonderful Wednesday - Anything Goes



Thanks for stopping in!

I've Been Gone Far Too Long! But I'm Back Now

I was going to take just a short break from my blog, just a few weeks off.  Here I am, several months later, finally making a return.   I'm still crafting, doing some sewing and some crocheting and, yes, even some card making.  

Like springtime, everything looks bright and renewed to me and I'm ready to go again.

I'm starting my return with an entry in the coloring challenge on the new Mo's Clubhouse Blog.  The theme of the challenge is Springtime.  I decided to use the image called Big Whoop because this is how spring has me feeling - like jumping for joy.  I know this is a coloring challenge, but once I got going I just had to make it into a card.  I know my hearts border is upside down, but I'm lovin' it anyway. 


I also took the opportunity to color this cute little Easter Chickie that Mo had on sale recently.  I couldn't resist this little cutie for a $1.  I'm not sure if I can have more than one entry in this challenge, but I wanted to share it here.


It's good to be back and I plan on being back very soon!
Enjoy the blessings of spring!

Freshly Made Sketches #650

 Happy Monday Morning! It's a scorcher here in Central Wisconsin.  Temps in the 80's but heat index well over 100 degrees.  That is ...
