It's Retirement Time!

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

I made these cards early this morning for a teacher at school who is retiring after 36 years in education. We had a special luncheon to celebrate all her years of service.

I used My Favorite Things ~ Blueprint 20, stitched circle, and scribble roses. Turquoise Stickles were applied to the rose overlay.

The sentiment is computer generated and black sequins were scattered around.
Challenges:

The second one is simple, just as retirement should be. I added a big yellow organza bow and yellow sparkle skittles.
This teacher has only a couple more days with students and then it is time for her to relax and enjoy. I still have MANY years before I can retire, but I sure do think about it. I look forward to traveling, crafting, and being leisurely. What do you want to do when you retire? 

Stay Creative,
Georgiana
