Sketch Saturday Challenge #50

So a couple of teachers my mom knows are retiring and she asked me to make some retirement cards. I thought cards that thanked them for their service would fit the bill nicely. Since I still needed to complete the SS Challenge for this week I figured to combine my to-do list ;-)

Sketch Saturday Challenge #50

For my 2nd retirement card I decided to try out my new corner rounder. It works pretty good except for thicker papers you really have to press down extremely hard :-(

PUT ON YOUR DANCIN' SHOES

I had so much fun making this card. I can't believe it came out so cute or that it took me so long to make (lol). This card is for the Club Anya Pop Challenge - Put on Your Dancin' Shoes. I just love the stamps from The Greeting Farm.
