Today was my final day at work. I thought I was going to be fine, and I was for an hour or so. I guess it just suddenly hit me. About the same time, one of my favorite students/residents stopped by to give me my daily hug. She saw a few tears and that was all it took for her to break down. I decided at that moment that it was time to go. So, here I am, and I decided to utilitze some of my day to tackle a couple of challenges!
Today's card is for Mojo Monday's challenge, which is the sketch you see below, and also for The Greeting Farm's challenge, which is Polka Dots.
The little girl stamp is from The Greeting Farm. Isn't she adorable? This is the first of their stamps I have ever owned, and I must say that I am hooked. What beautiful detail, and images they have! The sentiment is Hero Arts, and the DP is from Gina K's freebie section on Stamp TV. I used my Kooh-I-Noor pencils, and low odor mineral spirits to color. CS is DCWV.
I hope that you enjoy her - she sure gave me a smile! (Pat, there are a few of her stamped for you in your package I will be sending in a few days!)
Have a good evening, and I will see you all tomorrow!

What a beautiful little girl, and card. Hope your first full day of retirement tomorrow is restful, and not tearful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Patti! I wish you a very happy retirement. As much as I love my job I so look forward to the day when I can retire and spend my days stamping.
ReplyDeletePatti she is adorable!! I'm so excited for you, that you were able to retire! Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments on my projects.

ReplyDeletePeace, man!
Great Bible verse.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Great sketch. I was gone, so I have not had time to play with this one yet! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this card- the colors are great, and it's got a nice, happy feel to it. The Greeting Farm stamps are some of my favorites, and this little cutie is no exception (I've got to get that one). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, Patti, I knew your last day would be hard, and I feel terrible that I let it blow right by me without an email. What a thoughtless friend I am. It will surely take some time to come to grips with leaving and to embrace retired life, but you will get there... one day at a time. I love the Bible quote you have on today's post. God does have something better in mind for you now.
ReplyDeleteYour card is as cute as can be. As you know, I am a HUGE TGF fan. They are simply the most fun images to color. By the way, did you know you won a prize on the recent blog hop? I think it's the soccer Ian digi stamp. Congrats!!!
Lots of love and prayers, dear friend.

so cute! Love the chocolate brown and pink together!
