Retirement Card



 
Good evening everyone hope you have had a good day it's been nice to see the sunshine at last and I even managed to go out wearing shoes and not my furry boots I just hope it lasts.
The card I'm sharing is one I have made for my good friend Lorna to give to one of  her best friends Pam who is retiring very soon. I love this stamps and I thought it shows just what retirement is all about fun, treats, enjoyment and relaxation
