Retirement Card....



My friend Martha at work has retired and we are all have a girls night out tonight to celebrate with her. This is the card I've made her from all of us. This stamp From Eat Cake Graphics: Auntie Daisy enjoys Freedom just said pick me while I was organizing this weekend. It's just so fun. I used the Ismaki sketch #22 for this one. It always seems I'm a day late for posting for that challenge. Oh well!! I printed the saying out on my printer. On the inside it says Frolic in the Flowers Because your RETIRED!!
Donalda is giving away some blog candy over at Enjoy the Journey. It's a wonderful assortment of die cuts from Debbie's Die Cuts. So head over there and check it out.
Lisbet is playing Hangman over at her blog Scrapmagasinet for another cute stamp from her store. I've never played hangman for a challenge before. Very creative.! So head over there and join in that fun you could win the Studenthome from her Scrapville collection. I received a bunch of stamps in the mail Saturday from Lisbet so I'll be working on a few things to share from that. I've also been put in charge of challenges over at the new Scrapmagasinet DT Blog. It's still under construction at the moment. But I'll let you know when it's ready. I can tell Lisbet has ok'ed some great prizes. Si get out your Srapmagasinet stamps and color some up for the up coming challenges.
I finally used my Prisma Markers!! I spent Saturday night making up a spread sheet to put them on. It's a lot easier for me to pick a color if I have it there on paper already. I'm not to sure how I like my coloring job. I need to practice more. And I still think I like my Copics better they just have more colors to pick from to blend together. But I have all the Prisma one my dear husband got me for Christmas so thought I should use them. I'll practice some more.
