Transitions...

Hi everybody! Happy Friday! Another weekend is upon us. I have loads of fun things to do this weekend and I'll be sharing pictures next week. The hubs and I are going on a short romantic getaway and I can't wait. Also...Spring Fling Stamp Camp is tomorrow - hosted by my awesome Stampin' Up friends! YAY!

But first, I have to get through this day. Today is a transition day for me...for it is the last day at my job, where I've worked for the past four years. I have to say good-bye to people I really like, and a job that was interesting and challenging and fun. I hate good-byes and packing and leaving. All of that. Don't like it. However, I am going to a new job that I know will be great for me. It's a good news/bad news sort of thing. I am returning to a company where I worked before and I have lots of friends waiting for me, and I am really excited about that part! As you can tell, I'm just a big jumble right now. Don't mind me. You can skip right to the card if you want! LOL.

I do have a card to share... One of my absolute favorite things from CHA was a paper collection called Prairie Hill by Pink Paislee. I LOVE the colors in the papers and love the cool designs. I wanted it right away! I finally got my mitts on some of it this past weekend at Scrapbook Territory. I used just a little bit of it in my card, but a little goes a long way. I used a layout from one of the cards in my Card Inspirations Pinterest Board and went to town... Made a homemade flower and had me some fun.

 

 

 

I made this flower using my PTI flower dies and some yellow polka dot paper. I sprayed the petals with water and crumpled them up so the flower would be shabby chic. I had this cute corduroy button in my stash.

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't this patterned paper the prettiest thing?  All those diamonds in different patterns... I'm really into graphic designs and shapes lately.

 

 

This wood banner is from Prima - they're called Wood Tickets.  Neato - bizeato!  

 

 

 

Thanks for spending part of your day here with me. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Take a little time to enjoy the view...

I am in love with the diamond shapes on that paper, what a great looking card.

Oh my goodness, that paper is so pretty. I love the various patterns. I like that little peek of crocheted ribbon used for leaves.

Good luck with your new job. I, too, hate goodbyes.

Good luck with your new (old) job.
I love patterned paper (and was pleased to discover that Green Tangerine in Roseville now stocks 6 x6 pads from several companies).

Hi, Wanda, I'll be thinking of you today as you transition to your new/old place. Leave a little of your love in the old place and it will be easier to go.
By the way, the card is lovely and brightened my morning. Be creative! Lov, Me
