...a fresh start...

Yesterday, I worked my last Saturday in the library! I don't officially leave for another 2/3 weeks but I'm using up annual leave! I thought I'd be really sad, but  although I will miss my lovely colleagues and work friends, I was more than happy to walk out of that door! The job has definitely not been the same for some time because of all the spending cuts, and believe me, things are going to get a lot worse! 'Better for Less' is the slogan used, whilst decimating the service, - I can see the 'less' but I sure can't see the 'better'.

Anyway, that's in the past, a new year, a fresh start, hopefully with more time to spend on the important things, family,friends, puppy, and of course more time to play! I have every intention of making the most of my retirement!!!

On to today's card. This weeks challenge at Less is More is black and white with a tiny hint of another colour. The possibilities are endless! My card is very simple, a single stamp inked all in black apart from the butterfly, which I masked and inked with blue distress ink, stamped once and mounted on black card and then onto the whit base card. 3 tiny gems added, and that's it!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a lovely evening.

Chris
