Hi Everyone: As many of you know from reading my last blog post, I have now retired. So over the past few days I have been making thank you cards for my co-workers who sent me off in fine fashion.
First, though, Stampin' Up! is having a great promotion for all of you who like the great Designer Series Papers that you can purchase. It's a BUY 3 GET 1 FREE. Who can resist? There are papers for everyone's tastes and they will add that something special to your card and/or scrap booking page. These papers are excellent for scrap booking as they measure 12" x 12".
Now on to my Thank You cards
I would like to give credit to a convention swapper for the inspiration for this card.

Wow, Karen, these cards are just gorgeous! I'll be in the unemployed mode beginning next week (the end of the Space Shuttle Program) and am looking forward to being able to hit the cardstock and DSP with a vengeance!
