I have another two Retirement cards to make and this is one of them. Mary likes to travel and intends to do much more after she retires. I have used Tim Holtz menagerie papers along with topper that I decoupaged. I also added a couple of flowers that I distressed a bit to fit in with the colours. Really lost my mojo big time at the moment. Hopefully it will be back soon. Take Care. Love & Hugs Rita xxxx

Your card and bag are beautiful, as is the wonderful photo. Hope you soon feel better. Hugs, Valerie
It is hardly surprising that you do not feel like crafting Rita, it is such a difficult time for Jan, her family and her friends. Your photo and words at the end of your post are so beautiful and say it all really....
Your card is fabulous, I love how you added all those travel elements, I think your friend Mary will be delighted with this beauty.
See you soon - can't wait! Big hugs, Anne xx
Brilliant card for a retirement - lots of possible destinations and ideas! I do hope you are soon feeling more like yourself - take care - hugs!
What lovely creations! I love the card with all those lovely elements! Hope you have a great day!
makes me want to retire, absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
Lovely retirements cards Rita. Deepest sympathies for your friend Jan. I am sure she takes comfort knowing she has a wonderful friend in you. You take care. You never have to apologise for going AWOL. You always share so many fabulous makes. They are always very much appreciated.
Hugs to you both,

I'm not surprised you're feeling Mojo-less, Rita - though I have to say it doesn't show in your fabulous card... what wonderful colours and collaging of all those brilliant travel images - and the belt is a wonderful finishing touch.
Still sending love and hugs to you, and Jan, and the whole family.

Wonderful card Rita, such a great design and fabulous colours. Love your sun setting photo too with that amazing dramatic sky and the reflection in the water. Much love to you all,including Jan, at this very sad time. Big hugs xx
Sorry to hear about your friend Jan's sudden loss Rita. Words never seem enough but crafting helps to take away the pain for a little while. Two beautiful makes, love your quote at the bottom of the post. Shirl x x
I really feel for Jan, it doesn't help when the funeral is so long.
Your card is awesome Rita, so lovely inside and out.
Your picture of the sun set is gorgeous.

Terrific card with the traveling theme, and perfect for your retiring friend. Also enjoyed the serene sunset picture. My heart goes out to your friend Jan. You will just have to give priority to helping her through these next weeks and months, and blogging doesn't seem as important as being a good friend just now. So we'll all be here when your MoJo and time returns. You take care, give yourself a big hug, as I know you will be helping your dear friend cope. TFS
Feeling for you Rita. Death when it's unexpected is such a shock and can really push you off course. I hope the funeral passes smoothly for your friend Jan. It is good she has such a good friend in you.
Your card is beautiful and the sunset poignant. Much love, Jenny x
Hugs for you and your friend Jan from across the pond. Your card and bag are lovely.
Sending hugs to you & Jan, the sudden loss of Peter is devastating for you all... you both are in my thoughts & prayers.... your card is fabulous...Take care... Hugs May x x
