Happy Retirement!

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and peeking in.  This week at Celebrate the Occasion (CTO) retirement is the theme.  With inflation and rising costs of everything will that even be possible.  Most older men and women are finding themselves retiring from one place and seeking employment somewhere else.  What ever happened to the good ole days when a person could "serve their time" in their respective careers and enjoy life in their declining years?  I hope you enjoy this card.  To all hopeful retirees I hope you are able to recline on a beach somewhere and enjoy the sunset!

Please join us in Celebrating Retirement at CTO by linking your project.   Comments are welcome.  Enjoy and GOD Bless!

Throwback Thursday Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by. It has been a while since I have entered some of my fellow blogger challenges since being involved in a couple of design teams.  So here I am getting back into the swing of things and joining in on the fun at Emma's My Creative Time-Throwback Thursday Challenge. The requirements for this challenge is to use or incorporate the color blue in your project and you must use the Doodle Charms Cartridge.  Well, of course you know Emma had me at the color blue (lol).  Comments are Welcome.  Enjoy and GOD Bless!

Cricut Cardz Challenge

This card was made to enter the Cricut Cardz Challenge. My friend Melissa at Moe's Creations is definitely keeping me on my toes. I wish her all the best in her endeavors. When you have a minute check out her blog.

The card measures 4 inches x 7 inches (Recollections Cardstock used). I used a Martha Steward Circle Cutter to round the top edge of the card. The waves were cut at 4 inches x 1 inches using the Life is a Beach Cartridge. I also used a Martha Stewart Zig Zag edge punch. The Swan was cut at 2.25 inches using the Cricut Lite Splish Splash Cartridge. When I saw the swan I immediately thought of how swans mate for life and since I only cut one it just seemed appropriate that the sentiment (my pink stamper stamps) should read wish you were here. Enjoy and GOD Bless

Life after graduation

When I returned to school I didn't realize my schedule would be as hectic as it was. I work full-time, and was a student, an intern, and there was the responsibility of running and maintaining a household (hubby shared chores which was really great). So when I graduated this what my life was like. Just able to go to work and come home was wonderful it felt as if I was relaxing at the beach. Enjoy and GOD bless!
