Hi Folks
Hope you are all well. My daughters treated me to lunch out today. The weather was gorgeous and we sat out in the pub beer garden having a glass of wine and eating our lunch. It was beautiful.
But it's back to work tomorrow. A couple of weeks ago I had a big decision to make at work. They have offered voluntary severance to staff in my pay grade. I have worked there for 30 years but have not been happy for the last five of those. I have therefore made the decision to take the money and run lol. It has not been an easy decision but I know I have made the right choice. I don't actually leave work until June but am now looking for a little part time job. Hubby has said that I can't craft all day every day lol.
Anyway, enough rambling and onto my card share for today, a little Mothers Day card.
The main scalloped circle shape and image is from Crafts U Print. I got some free design sheets from them in a magazine many months ago and thought it was about time I used them. I cut out the main scalloped circle shape and matted it onto some silver mirror card. I cut out four corner shapes from silver mirror card using my Brother Scan and Cut. For embellishments I added some lace and pearls. The lettering is die cut and I added some glitter for added sparkle. The sentiment has been done on my computer and simply matted onto mirror card.
Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.

It sounds to me like you made the right decision about your job, it's no fun doing something that you don't enjoy.

I love the delicate colours on this pretty card!
I made the same decision as you did, many years ago when the kids were young, and I've never regretted it. Sure, money was tight and holidays tended to be visits to family, but no longer having to slog into a job that I no longer loved was well worth it. Good luck! XX
love, Mags B xxx

Just gorgeous !

love the whole design, thanks for sharing on artistic inspirations x
I know June is a few months away but I am so jealous you'll have some extra time to do some crafting. You card is a work of art, it is absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us at Di's Digi Stamps and our Spring Challenge! Dee
I hope your plans work out for your future….although I think crafting every day is an ok plan. :-) Love this card…so pretty with all the layers.
I've always thought that if it feels like the right decision, it IS the right decision. I studied hard to get onto a career path that, when I arrived, I loathed... I left and started doing "odd" jobs that former colleagues considered lowly - and couldn't have been happier! I hope that's how it pans out for you :-) Thanks for joining in the "Welcome Spring" challenge at Di's Digi Designs Hope you can join in our "Easter" challenge too, Donna ♥
