Goodbye Gifts for the Ladies

I recently resigned from my current job.  I worked in a relatively small office, and so, everyone knows everyone.  Even though I didn't work with everyone, I still talked to them either before the weekly staff meetings, lunch gatherings, or office activities. There were only eight ladies (excluding me) in the office, and so I made each of them a rose with a personalized tag.  This was not part of the plan, but Michael's had a Cricut cartridge sale, and so I bought the new Giant Flowers cartridge.  These roses turned out AMAZING.  They took a lot of work, a lot of glue, and a lot of paper.  However, seeing how happy the ladies were when receiving their rose was well worth it!

Paper: Recollections

Technique/Tools: Cricut Giant Flowers, Memento ink pads, spray mists

Others: Green flower tape, wire, wood floral stems, Christian Dior Forever and Ever perfume

Due to the recession and lack of projects, I was laid off, and today was my last day of work. In a way I'm glad because there will be another round of stressing "Will it be me?" Now that's out of the way, I will have to plan out what I should do next.

I love my team. They were just a bunch of awesome people. I will miss them dearly. I made cards for those who were still around (contractors were gone a few months ago). So in total, 37 cards were made. I made them all within two nights. I seriously should consider a handmade card business.

Only 35 are shown here, because I already gave out two without taking the picture.
