Late to the Party

Late seems to be my middle name lately. My dad used to say "A day late and a dollar short". Yep, fits me to a T! Oh, how I wish it didn't.

I missed a birthday at work and since I have taken on the task of cards, I couldn't let it slide. So, here is my belated card...

I thought this birthday turtle from Bugaboo Stamps was rather appropriate. They post a new freebie digi image on their site every Friday and I got this many moons ago when it was a freebie. Now it is available for sale. I think he is so adorable. As an aside, there are a few sites that offer freebies to try, it is a great way to venture into digi images if you have never done so before. Nothing beats a stamp in your hands but digi images have come so far and the price point is reasonable. I also like that I can size them to my liking, something you can't do with a stamp. The sentiment was computer generated, something I wrote to fit the occasion.

I think I need to work on a stash of cards for my desk so these late episodes can be minimized. I just may be beyond all hope though, lol.

See you soon!

Retirement Wishes

I had several cards to make this weekend for co-workers. One was a retirement card for someone who has worked for the county for 41 years! I have barely been alive that long, lol. I think she had earned her pension a couple times over by now.

Like I mentioned yesterday, finding images to work for this card was a bit of a challenge but I am pleased with how it came together.

The car is from PTI and I used the matching die to cut it out. My co-worker has a red card so I made the car on the card to match. The lights and windshield are covered in Glossy Accents. The lady and the luggage are part of the Honeymoon image by Bugaboo stamps. As you can see, I cut out the fella. The fact that she is waving worked perfectly for the sentiment that I had decided to use, which I generated on the computer.

I think she will get a kick out of it.
