I made a card for a friend that will be semi-retired. I followed an exercise from Lindsay Ostrom's Creative Hand Lettering Book. The exercise called Writer's Block, required dividing your paper into blocks and using different hand lettering. You wrote a word or made a doodle and then rotated your paper a quarter turn. That way some of your writing would be upside-down, side-ways, or the right way up.
I wrote things one could do in one's "free time". Like going to lunch sleeping late, watching the clouds. Just a fun way to acknowledge the next phase of her life.

Very cute! 😊
Free time and being free are priceless. Great card, CJ! Hugs, Valerie
Great card, and I love how you can personalize it. I hope this person enjoys their semi-retirement and does all of those things also.
Perfect!
I'm a fan of ladies who lunch :)
Great card CJ! I really like that idea! Hugs! deb
