Leaving

As I said earlier this week a dear colleague of ours retires at the end of this week. She has made such a difference to so many children's lives over the years and has given so much to our school. Wednesday is her retirement 'do' which will be very emotional and on Friday there will be floods of tears again.

This is the retirement card for staff to sign. It may seem like a curious image for a retirement, but Chris is so young looking, wears very trendy clothes and loves her i- pad. So this was just the perfect image for her.

The card is larger than I normally make but I have so enjoyed making it because I could colour a large version of this Darcys Diaries image 



I hope the staff are as pleased with it as I am.
The papers are form various digi kits bt Katie Pertiet over at Designerdigitals - I really adore all of her papers.
The flowers are from Wild orchids.
The image is coloured with Promarkers

I would like to enter it into the 
Darcys Diaries Challenge - Pearls and Swirls
Make it Monday Anything goes
Marianne's Design Divas - Anything goes



Enjoy your Sunday
