Enjoy your road ahead

This week's inspirational DT card for Dies R Us is for a dear work friend who I have been with for 15+ years. I'm sorry to see him leave but wish him well in his retirement. I made this card for my cheeky mentor who will be missed a great deal.

This will also be my final DT inspirational card for Dies R Us as I too will be moving on. I would like to thank all of the wonderful Dies R Us fans who have followed me for the last 18 months as part of the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog. No doubt I will be checking in to see the wonderful creations they will continue to showcase to inspire you.
