Morning and September can you believe? We have a new ATG/School Dayz/anything school related challenge at 613 Avenue Create and welcome to our Guest Designer MARITZA.
This time I went with ATG as I had an unusual request for a retirement card -the lady who is retiring works in a Funeral Parlour and the brief was a pic of the lady/a coffin/Funeral Parlour cars and funny funeral anecdotes---so off to google but not entirely happy with the printing quality from my new printer -okay if just black and white but forget colour!
I decided to make a Ta-Da card (Twist and pop card tutorial from Beccys)as a way to use all the little pics and thankfully they were really pleased with the card phew!
The wood effect P,paper was from The Works(at least 3yrs old) and the coffin was coloured with promarkers and a gold pen. Sentiment was computer generated in Dafont.

A very unusual request, but you've made a great job of it Carol. A fabulous fold and love all the funnies x
Glad you are better! And a beautiful shaped card and beautiful images and text! Enjoy the sunday!
A super card Carol, a fabulous design - it's nice to be able to make things so personal.
I'm glad your back is better, that jigsaw certainly looks complicated.

Great project Carol!!Jackie 613 xx
This is hilarious! It’s a fine balance joking about retirement and this particular profession, but you nailed it!
Amazing project, I love it. Thank you for entering our Anything Goes Challenge at Through The Craft Room Door this week. Looking forward to see you again next challenge.

Oh wow Carol what a fantastic card this is yet another card fold that I love but have never heard of this is where I find my inspiration from crafters like you on blogger, the inside is amazing and fits perfectly what you were asked for, I love the wood effect background, love the jigsaw I used to do this type mine was mainly cats and a friend of mine got 3 of them framed and they were very big, glad your back has improved

What aa fabulous card Carol ! I am sure she will love it x
I haven't made a twist & pop card in ages, but this is quite a send-off for retirement! All those images relating to her line of work are perfect! Glad to know your back is better too, but my goodness, all those wet dogs in one room can surely cause a catastrophe! LOL
Wow beautiful work as always - love the layout thanks for sharing!!!
What an unusual brief, I don’t suppose most people would want a coffin on their retirement card! You pulled it off beautifully. It is a truly special card xx
Oh, my gosh, what a FUN card! It will give her lots of hoots and giggles. The way you did the pop up fold makes it so extra special. I know she'll keep it forever! It is good to know your back is better. You must have been doing some partial bending to work on the puzzle. It's one of the worst things for my back. I must say, however, that is just about the cutest puzzle EVER!
Fabulous card Carol!
What a fun card, love it!!! Thanks for joining TTCRD challenge. Anesha x
Super fun fold - love all the elements you added. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)

This is fabulous Carol, I wouldn't have known where to start, this design works so well with those funnies you've printed out. Glad to hear your back is better now, love the jigsaw, bet it took some completing.

Hi Carol, what a fabulous card, looks very complicated and I love it.
Glad your feeling better, that jig-saw looks like hard work though.
Sorry not been around, felt so ill last week, fingers crossed I can get through the week, I missed my blog friends.xx
Blimey what a brief to follow! You've pulled it off marvellously, very clever design. Emmax

You're so creative Carol! I love how you've incorporated all of the details you had with the funeral theme retirement! I love it with the twist and pop fold! I've only made one of these before in a class, but haven't posted it. I think this will be treasured! Glad your back is feeling better friend! Please take care!
Love thie retirement card. Great fold.
Fabulous design Carol and to me, it would have been a bit of a difficult request but you pulled it off brilliantly, glad your back is feeling better..I do free jigsaw puzzles online and they can be bad for you too..lol..

What an unusual brief, and one you seem to have met perfectly. I think it's great. I love the look of that jigsaw too. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
OMG, I am so sorry to hear about your back - and the rabbit, what a dreadful time you have been going through, I hope the jigsaw was worth it!
This is a rather unusual card and all credit to you for pulling off such a strange set of requests, well done.
Dionne xx
Wow, I am impressed with this wonderful card that was a unusual request. You sure knew exactly what to do with it. I am sure they loved it.
When I first saw the card and thought retirement with a coffin?? Then I read your description and it makes perfect sense! I love how you used the comic strip for the twist and pop section. Thanks for joining my fun folds themed challenge at Make My Monday!

Hahhahah Love the pic of how you hurt your back! I hope you have recovered now. You are getting really good at those fancy pointed cards. I like your take on the retirement card; it looks great and I'm sure she appreciated it. CarolG
This is an absolutely brilliant and unique card, Carol. Loving the comic strips inside. One of my fav card designs. I wish The Works would do another print run of that paper pad, it was such a good one. Take care, Michelle x
Absolutely brilliant Carol!! I'll bet they were well pleased. I get some weird requests too but never for a funeral parlour! The inside is just perfect and I am sure made them smile!
Wonderful creation! Thanks for playing at Penny's Challenges.
Great card!
Thanks for joining us at Creatalicious Challenge, we hope to see you again.
