Happy Retirement

It’s 90° as I write this. We’ve gone from winter to spring to summer in less than three weeks! It won’t last, but I never complain about the heat. It does seem odd, however, to have turned on the air conditioning in my car this early in May. We won’t do that in the house for awhile as it always cools down nicely at night in the spring.

We’re off to help our friend, Bill, celebrate his retirement tonight. I hope he enjoys it as much as I do!

I started with a piece of white cardstock that I scored on the scoreboard every half inch. Then I used the Sentiment Splits die and backed the split with patterned paper from the Mini Market “Clipsters” kit from Papertrey Ink. The “Oh Yeah” die and stamp are from the same kit as is the sentiment on the bottom of the card. The starts are left over from die cutting the Simply Stars cover plate a long time ago. I layered three of the “Oh Yeah” dies to get some extra dimension.

I find it hard to believe given how many stamps sets I have that there are very few (I found two!) sentiment stamps for retirement. This one is from one of the first sets I purchased from Papertrey many years ago, “Mega Mixed Messages.” The “Cheers” die cut and stamp are from Retro Birthday.

I’m linking this up to Virginia View’s latest challenge “Layers and Dimensions.”
