Two great sponsors for our challenge.  Please go show some love and maybe leave a thank you also!

On to my inspiration.  I am using an image from Dr. Digi's (I have so many of them and use them all quite a bit) called Cancun Cankles Karen.  This was so much fun to create!  Here we go!

Would you believe that I actually had a piece of 12x12 vacation
paper of Cancun?  That is the background paper that is on bright
red card base.  Now Karen is paper pieced from scraps in the 
file cabinet.  My daughter saw this and said "Mon it looks like
you in the summer time."  Well maybe a little.  Now the carry
on is colored and the sling bag is also.  I used my new Castle 
Arts Oil colored pencils.  Really loving them.  

Now this is the left inside panel.  Yes these were included in
the travel scrapbook kit that I got somewhere.  

This background paper was also included.  I printed out the
sentiment on vellum and it says Happy Retirement.

The back of the card.

The envelope flap sticker I made.  The stamp says Mexico.

See I told you I had fun with this card.  Love going back to paper piecing.  I got my card making start over at Scrappy Dew in 2011.  

So that's it for this challenge.  Be back in just a fortnight for more fun over at Penny's Challenge.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.

Happy Valentines Day!!!
