Retirement Means Relaxation and Fun In The Sun



Wow, can you believe it is Thursday, again, already?! The week sure does fly by! Be sure you come visit the design team for Bugaboo Stamps, over at Catch The Bug, so you can see all the awesome Oldie But Goodie creations they've created for you!

If you live in the USA and are like me, then you probably are already sick of the snow and cold temperatures! My boss sure had the right idea - She decided to retire and move to Florida for sun, sand, warm temps and relaxation! I sure wish I could do the same! LOL.  Anyway, this card is for her retirement.

The card features the image, Dottie Beach, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers (by Letraset). I used papers from Recollections, from my stash and a fun mix of chevron, hearts, stripes and polka dots. I used two strips of purple and lavender chevron washi tape, matted with cardstock (From the Paper Studio) and a handmade bow made with this new purple sheer polka dotted ribbon.

manufacturers of items used on this card:

Recollections
