Sorry for the loss of your best friend........

How is everyone doing here on the 2nd day of the New Year?  Kept (or broke) any New Year Resolutions yet?

I wanted to keep on my "roll" of creating (two days in a row - new record pretty much!) so I went over to My Favorite Things for their weekly sketch challenge to get some inspiration.  Lucky for me, it was a rather basic sketch that would work for any kind of card, and a sketch that I will likely turn to again and again.  Here is the sketch they gave:

Since I have had the fear of losing a dear pet of mine weighing heavy on my heart the last few weeks, I decided I would do a Pet Sympathy card tonight.  Luckily, my "Karma Sue" has hung in there and seems to be improving somewhat.  However, I am sure there are others out there that treat their pets as family members as well, and when they do lose a pet would appreciate receiving a note of comfort.     This is what I came up with:

 

 

The sentiment at the bottom corner reads "a dog wags its tail with its heart".  I stamped the dog as to be "fading off" the page, but showing that a dog will wag his tail to the very end.   The inside of the card simply reads "So sorry for the loss of your best friend." .  I have provided an "ingredient list" at the bottom of the page of the materials used in making the card.  It is very simple, but sweet card I think.

Ingredient List:

Cardstock:  Stampin Up! Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip
Designer paper: Paper Adventures "Susie Muise Paw Print on Pink
Inks: Stampin Up! Basic Brown
Stamps: Stampin Up! D is for Dog

Happy Crafting!

Sympathy Card - TSSC87 Challenge Card

Happy Saturday Morning! I hate that I missed the last two days worth of posts but my camera and internet would just not cooperate! Got the new internet installed and finally got the camera working today - so here is my Sympathy card that I promised days ago!

This card was created using Technostampers Sketch Challenge 87. You should click on over and create something with us! You have until Sunday night at 8 p.m. to post your card. Anyway, this card is very simple as you can see but I think it turned out nice. I used Whisper White and Basic Black cardstocks, white grosgrain ribbon and the floral stamp is from Eastern Blooms Stamp Set. The sentiment is from a stamp set which is quickly becoming one of my favorite - Teeny Tiny Wishes. When I first got that set, I thought to myself "These words are so tiny, I will never use them!".....well, as you can see I have used them on about the last 4 cards or so that I have posted so they definitely come in handy!

Well, that is my share for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Stampingly yours,

Tina
