“Cheers to Retirement” Card for Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #134: For Someone Older Than Us

Kaboodle Doodles' Challenge #134 is "Tribute to Someone Older than Us". You could submit any project as long as it fits the challenge theme. Winner to be drawn randomly with sponsor prize of $10 voucher from Di's Digi Downloads Tues, September 4, 2012 at US timezone. Participants have until Sun., September 2, 2012 to link their entries at the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.

The card project, I did for this week's challenge is a more appropriate card for our former KD head, Chris.  She's now embracing her retirement years upon leaving the helm of Kaboodle Doodles. And I guess a toast is very timely for this phase and milestone in her life.  I guess the same goes with me as I embrace a less stressful life which I also considered my retirement phase at an early age.  So, I would like to dedicate this card project of mine to Chris . . . saying: "Cheers to Retirement!" 

Here's my created card:

Cardmaking Day with LMGC

It's the end of my term, as well as with all the 1st batch of designers of LMGC.  Rochelle, the owner of LMGC thought of organizing a meet up for the Filipinas forming part of her design team.  And what a great way to end our term and meet up by having a cardmaking day held at Sunshine Asuncion-See's craft studio.

I didn't think that I could make it or at most join in the event and funfare due to the fact that I was indispose for about 2 weeks, but God willing I was up in good condition and got myself a clean bill of health (i think) all ready to attend.  Just the thought that what a happy coincidence for all of us to make it to the said activity with one designer flying from Davao and us meeting in a venue so much near to my place of residence.  It was just like it was all just waiting to happen.  Thanks to Rochelle and Shine!

Here's our group photo with our handmade card output for the day:
(I missed having the opportunity of having Shine included in my photo.
Maybe next time, perhaps . . . )

And a closer shot:

Here are the (3) cards I was able to finish,
with (2) lacking in sentiment still:
(How I wish I got photos of the cards my co-designers have done)

Kaboodle Doodles' Challenge #133 is "Thank You Projects". You could submit any project as long as it fits the challenge theme.

Participants have until Sun., August 26, 2012 to link their entries at the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.


This challenge made me a little bit sentimental with the recent turn of events at Kaboodle Doodles, having to bid our former DT Coordinator / KD Owner and for me my KD boss, farewell . . . I just have to make this card just thinking of Chris.  To Chris, thank you so much for everything you've done for the team, the KD site and especially for me.  You're the 1st one who gave me a chance, paving the way for my 1st ever DT stint.  And for that, I'm utterly grateful for it.  Thank you, so much!

Without further adieu and without me pouring out a lot more sentiments,
here is my created card for this week's challenge:
