How is your week going? Well yesterday I walked out of work for the last time - I am now officially retired . I do have very mixed emotions but I am sure that I have done the right thing. Being able to choose when to go on holiday will be a big thing.
I have been a bit intermittent with card making since the wedding. I went back to my favourite Pollyanna Pickering images for some inspiration.
I added some paper from a Creative World of Crafts pad.
To match the image I added die cut trees using the Winter Trees dies designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions.
This image is from a Pollyanna Pickering sketch pad. The Little Owls are so cute.
Here are all the cards and presents I received yesterday. I had been working there for over 20 years. Some of the cards are very inventive I might be stealing some of the ideas for my own card making.
This is another card for my stash owl cards are always popular.
I would like to enter challenge 123 at the Creative Moments Challenge Blog.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie
