Wow, I'm going to have control my enthusiasm a little. I haven't had this much fun with a stamp set since like yesterday! I wanted to buy the "On to Adventure" set featuring happy retirement themes because I am hopeful this is in our future, someday! I also happen to have a lot of friends and now some family members that are hitting these years and it's fun to celebrate what a milestone that is, especially after years of working so dedicatedly! I wanted to try and use all the stamps and I decided to feature Designer Series Paper as my background and just a little bit of coloring with Stampin'Blends to accent my color scheme. I love how these turned out! I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite!
Obviously, a very popular retirement theme is golf - like in "now I have time to golf as much as I want"!! My parents were avid golfers and I know they enjoyed their sport even more in their retirement years. Can you guess what embossing folder I used to make my golf balls? It's the Falling Snow folder that recently retired! Perfect dimpled dots for golf balls!
Another frequent theme is time for hobbies, passions and well, maybe just some extra time! I would guess most recent retirees are doing a little dance when they get up in the morning as they don't have to get ready to go to work! This card makes me smile and I'm hopeful I can incorporate lots of bliss in my retirement years. In case you're curious, the swirl of stars is from the new Stargazing set!
And, what would retirement be without travel? The cruises, the road trips, the exotic locations, the grandchildren? It's hard to be a seasoned traveler until you retire unless you do it for work and face it, that's not the same! These two lovebirds are ready to go on that next trip!
These will be some of my favorite creations until something else takes their place! I've listed my supplies below so you can copy and recreate these designs with your own stash of supplies. Meanwhile, take time to adventure!
Happy Stampin'!
