Retirement................................

As of last Friday I am a retired lady ready for a new phase of my life.  I am excited to find what this part of my journey will bring my way.  One of the activities I am planning to pursue more consistently is creating, posting and selling my paper creations.  To that end here is an addition to my Etsy shop.  I created this set of cards over several days and they came together in phases.  I decided to do a "one-sheet-wonder" series of cards using the Close To My Heart paper.  I cut the pieces with particular designs in mind but some of the designs got revamped before the resulting cards were finished.  Once I had the backgrounds completed I decided that each card needed something more so I added the flowers which then led to the flourishes in black.  I really like the look of the black against the lagoon blue and wood-grain paper.  I decided to keep the sentiments simple. As I usually do, the cards are blank so the a personal note can be written by the giver.

So here they are.  I hope you like them.  I would love to know you stopped by, so please take a minute to write a comment.
