I talk too much. Not a lot. Too much. It's become a bit of a joke since I retired and am home alone most days. When the husband walks in the door, I pretty much start talking and don't stop until it is time to say "good night." So this card is for Mike -- he'll get the joke.
I'm participating in the Waltzingmouse PJ Party and will enter this under "Old Pajamas" -- meaning the WMS sets were released in the past.

Joan, these are gorgeous! I envy your paper trimming skills. My stock answer for why I avoid cutting anything out: If I had wanted to cut things out, I would have been a kindergarten teacher!
Delicious card! The coloring is awesome!
This is so cheery!
Joan this is more than a bit special - such colours! fabby card!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at Waltzingmouse Stamps!
Joan - your coloring is fantastic - once again! I just love these flowers! And I'm totally getting your joke - I'm the same way when my husband walks in the door!
Love the colors and the shading, Joan!
Ha! That's too funny. I think my husband is like that. He's the retired one... for the time being. Soon he'll be all talked out. Very cute card!
Awesome card Joan!
what a great bold design Joan B! I'm envious that you are already retired! I've got two more years to go (can hardly wait!!!)
It's gorgeous! Your coloring skills are amazing!
I love it! And I'm sure Mike will, too. 💜 really pretty card!
Fabulous card 😄
Lovely card, Joan. And I'm guilty of talking too much, too, now that I'm once again "between" jobs/careers/whatever!
This card is absolutely gorgeous, Joan!
