When you hit my age, everyone around you seems to be retiring. I have a little stash of cards made for just such occasions. Here is what I used.
My digital image of the mouse was cut out with a MFT stitched oval. I mounted it onto a watercolor background. Something told me to bring out my SU! corners punch and I double stacked them, My little starfish is a die from Gina Marie. The tiny Happy Retirement stamp is one of my unknown unmounteds. For embellishments, I used jute twine, aqua Dew Drops and a stained glass charm shaped like flip-flops.
We are expecting blasts of snow showers today, so I think I will stay in and craft. Make your Tuesday a good one.

This is adorable! I love that little mouse sunning himself and can almost visualize myself in the same position! Cleverly detailed and such a fun retirement card!
Mary Anne,
You are making up for lost time, you know we should be that guy on the beach. and here we are me with a full time job watching a 2 1/2 month old and you still slaving away.
This is too cute! I could go for the beach right about now! That little mouse looks like a Whipper Snapper stamp/image.
