Someone very special to me is celebrating a very special day! My BFF Barbara Anders (better known as "Bar") is retiring today from the daily grind! I know how anxiously she's been waiting for this day, so I thought it'd be fun to help her celebrate! I gathered up a few stamping friends to have a little Happy Retirement Blog Hop for her today, so be sure to check out the list of bloggers at the end of my post, and check out the celebratory cards for Bar today!
For my card, I thought the beautiful new Always Time for Tea stamp set and Die-Namics from My Favorite Things would make a beautiful retirement card! I computer-generated the "Retirement suits you...." sentiment for the front of the card, and...
... I added this on the inside. "To a" is computer-generated and "Tea" is from the stamp set, along with the teapot stamped at the bottom.
Please hop over and also check out the Happy Retirement cards from these friends...
CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement, Bar! I know how much all your co-workers are going to miss you, but I also know how much you're going to enjoy this next phase of life! Happy stamping, happy gardening, happy everything!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you! :)
