Happy Friday Eve...
Why yes, you are visiting my blog...
Not my typical card...lots of layers and details.
So here's a bit about my card and how I was inspired:
For my birthday, my Boss' boss gave me this awesome book by Lisa Pace:
My Boss' boss is actually an Interior Designer or that is how she started at the company over 30+ years ago. Friday is her last working day...she's retiring.
Can I tell you that I'm sad and I'm hoping that I don't get all teary eyed at our luncheon today. I'm like that you know...weepy...movies, commercials, weddings, funerals...sigh.
Anywho's...she's one of those kind of peoples that make you feel instantly comfortable. She is really good about including you and she truly listens to you. A graduate in Interior Design and Fine Art, she always encouraged my paper crafting.
I was inspired by one of the cards in book...I like the look of the stitching on the tag...gotta remember to keep doing that.
The dictionary page actually includes the word retirement but it is, obviously, covered up by the tag.
I'm trying to channel my inner Audrey Pettit....Whaddya think?

SOOOO "vintage lovely" and "awesome"...yes all of that!!! That flower is amazing and all the accents are just perfect!!!
I think it works! LOVE that bloom :) and I love that you've got retirement on that page...it's the little things (even the invisible little things, lol!)
FWIW, I cry at that stuff too. No matter how many times I say I won't cry at the airport...ugly cry, every time.
So sweet! I love the bloom! :)
very pretty!
I'm loving the layers Amy and I can see why you wanted the bloom - just gorgeous :)
I think it is absolutely gorgeous. I love the combination of the beautiful bloom and the glitter. Perfection.
And I'm right there with you on the emotions...I'd cry too!

What a fantastic card Amy. I have been sitting here taking all the elements in--that flower is the bomb!
Just beautiful and doesn't it always happen when you use a word that's perfect? it somehow always gets covered up!
aww so sorry you are losing your awesome boss. I know how you feel.. That is so cool that you had a great boss. I hope they replace her with someone just as nice.
I am calling you the tag queen.. this is so cute. I just love how you use tags.. they always look amazing..
Have a good day.. :) (don't be sad)
This is so BEAUTIFUL Amy! LOVE card and amazing flower! Hugs, Karin
Oh, Amy, I LOVE this! It has your fresh style, but with lots of shabby chic touches, too.
this is beautiful and she is sure to treasure it :)
Love that stitching on the tag too! Happy retirement to your boss' boss!
