How are you this fine soggy Friday? As you can tell by that sentence, it's raining here but I'm still in a good mood! I have a fabulous post for you today & I just love it! I had a retirement luncheon for a former co-worker a few weeks ago & needed to make a card & this is what I came up with...I love it! Then the woman that was picking me up has a habit of forgetting things so we all have to call her a few times to remind her that she needs to pick us up or go here or there. It's a running joke with us but we all love her anyway. Love ya Diane! Gina K made a video on this memory dry erase frame & my mind was reeling. I knew I wanted to make it for Diane & then I had a light bulb moment & decide to make one for our retiree Linda as well...not that she forgets anything but ya never know. Now that she's retired she might just start forgetting, right? Ah...maybe not but it was a good gift to make for her anyway. I made a few other little things to put in the gift bag as well, just a little something from me. We all chipped in to get her a few goodies & it put a nice smile on her face when she opened the cards from all her coworkers & friends. Now she has joined us retirees who have a big happy smile plastered to our faces. I call it the Happy face club & everyone wants to join but some still have a few years to go before joining our exclusive club. It was funny hearing them all count down to the day they retire...they can't wait, work has gotten even more stressful since we left & the new systems in place are a nightmare.
Well that's it for today & as always, thanks so much for stopping by, I sure do appreciate it.
I love how this card turned out! My inspiration came from this card by Amy. As soon as I saw her card I knew the stamp I wanted to use & what card I wanted to make...Linda's retirement card & I was off to make my card.

Hello Ms. Rita!! Your card is darling!! Love all the layers, and love how you've made the inside look the same as the outside. :O> Love the dry erase board too!! Great idea for those notes that my son likes to leave me when I go to bed before him, and he needs to tell me something before I leave for church. Hahaa... thanks for sharing!! Love that you've placed a ribbon on the back to hold the pen too. It's been rainy n' windy here... loving it as well!! This kinda weather just gets me more into the creative mode. Have a blessed week my dear!! God Bless!!! <3 Jen

The card is so cute! Love it! That's such a cute memory board. I think I need one for myself. I'm starting to forget things lately and I'm not even close to retiring yet. lol
