Happy Retirement!

So a friend had asked me to help her make a card...well she had planned to make the card but sometimes I can't stop when I start something so I just did the whole thing :)  It was for a police chief who is retiring!  I think it turned out pretty fun!  He doesn't have much hair so the whole head of gray hair made this card pretty funny too!  Hope you enjoy it!  If you don't have this cartridge I HIGHLY recommend it!  I will be linking this up for the Anything Goes Challenge at  My Craft Spot.  Hope you like it!  I'm just not ready to start on my Valentine's yet!  Maybe tonight?! :)

Criss Crossed Birthday!

Happy Tuesday!  I hope this post finds you well and having a nice day.  It's quite brisk here in MN-- I think that summer has officially come to an end.  I am excited to see the leaves change and enjoy the cooler weather...but I'm not quite ready for the snow.  Last night I had a little time to spend with my crafting goodies and I created this cute criss cross/pocket card for a challenge at Birthday Sundaes.  The challenge was to create a criss cross birthday card--so I did :)  Hope you enjoy it!
