RestoSketches #59

It's time for a new sketch at RetroSketches. This week's sketch is based on this card by the uber talented Laurie.

Here is my card:


I made this card for one of my dearest co-worker who's last day was yesterday. I've worked with her for 16 years. She has decided it was time to slow down some and get away from the stress of her current job. As the card says...I'm so happy for her.


Here is her package all put together. She loves her coffee so I got her a coffee cup and some freshly ground coffee from a local coffee house. (my house smelled so good)  I finally got to use my die that I got from Laurie . She has them for sale on her blog. Isn't this the coolest thing ever! We work so hard on our cards, and now everyone can see them. I wanted to put kraft colored tissue paper in the bag, but I couldn't find any. This is a little brighter then the flower but it was the closest I could find.

It looks crooked in the picture, but it really isn't. I have no idea what happened.
Here is this week's sketch:
Thanks for stopping by,
Deanna Jean

  3. Simply amazing card. Laurie's die is so perfect for cards, isn't it?! Hanging your card on the bag means no need for any other decoration. This really is a pretty card. Bev
