It's been 5 years since I retired. That said, I am so thankful for this hobby called stamping. At this point, I am in my stamp room on a daily basis. All I can say is if you don't have a hobby when getting ready to retire - get one! It will [and does] keep you sane. I would be bored out of my mind without this hobby. Just sayin~
Since all my DT creations have been created for September, I get to play in challenges [to keep myself busy]. For today I chose Simon Says Monday - Recycle, along with CAS on Friday [one of my favorites]; Feathered Friends.
I totally love this Honey Bee's Lovely Layers Winter Bird Die. [There are 2 birds in this set, the other being a Cardinal] I added some foliage die cuts, and a piece of recycled cardboard for the background panel.
I scored the card base, attached a [retired] Cottage Cutz Stitched Circle panel, and a layered Hello. A fun and cheerful card to receive.
Thanks Challenges - fun times were had.
Thanks for stopping by~

Yes, a cheerful way to say hello! The recycled cardboard adds so much interest to your terrific layers!
What a beautiful card you have made using the recycled card board and the various die cuts. I love the bird! This design would look great with the cardinal too!
I do SO love a little Black-capped Chickadee, Vicki! Isn't he just the sweetest to deliver such a darling hello - love the corrugated cardboard!
I completely agree with your retirement plan - don't the days fly by??

Very pretty, I love the bird, and your cardboard gives a woodsy feel.
Beautiful...that bird die is fantastic!! Thanks for playing along with the CAS on Friday challenge to make a clean and simple “feathered friends” card.
