Furbabies

 I have had two friends lose their furbabies in the past couple of weeks. First up is the girl that leads are music worship at church. Her and her husband don't have kids so they are extra close to their furbabies and he even writes comics about this cat they lost.  

I colored the cat stamp and then fussy cut and added it just above some lines that I scored on the front to frame the sentiment. I used a stencil to add clouds.


  • ODBD - Kitty stamp, colored w/markers and fussy cut
  • My Favorite things - Cloud stencil
  • Score lines

Shortly after that Donna told me that her dog was bitten by a snake and he didn't make it. They are in our lives for so many years and so apart of our daily lives. You can read about it on her blog.


  • Impression Obsession - Dog set die, cut from kraft and inked
  • Poppystamps - Stitched Landscape die
  • Memory Box - Grove leaves die and Bare Sapling die
  • birds hand drawn

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

    Awww, these are sweet, Connie, and it's super nice of you to make and send them. Just like with people sympathy cards I should have some of these on hand. Sometimes I get so caught up in Life stuff that I forget some of the most important things. Your kitty stamp is so sweet. The CAS-ness of both cards is just right.

    Oh, that's so sad for both of your friends. We just lost our last kitty just before Christmas. I was devastated. They truly are beloved family members and their loss leaves an enormous void. That's very thoughtful of you to make your friends cards to show how much you care.

    Oh what a sad time for them both, especially the dog with the snake bite--never heard of that before. These cards are lovely! The cat and dog images are perfect, and I LOVE your cloud backgrounds. They are perfect!

    Pets are so much a part of the family aren't they.
