I used Floral Notes for my card and the matching die for the large poppies. Coloured them with Twinkling H2Os, popped them up, added the sentiment and a few sequins for good measure. The papers are from We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard series.

We had a very rough weekend as a family as we had to put down our 22 year old cat, Scruffy. My daughter started praying for a cat when she was four years old, and three years later God brought him to us via new neighbours that moved in next door from California. He decided our house was much quieter than theirs (they had 3 kids under five), moved in and adopted us as his new family. We had the joy of having to catch three live birds he brought into the house, ongoing bed wars for bed space, loads of entertainment, comfort, love, constant purrs, lots of snuggles, gratitude and appreciation for the past ten years. He was our shy, handsome kitty with a huge heart.
I cried like a baby when we took him to the vet to put him down, and needless to say, we all have a very big hole in our hearts right now. It's amazing how a ten pound, furry critter can take up so much room in your heart. We love you Scruffy, and miss you dearly...

ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you had to say goodbye to your beloved Scruffy. We've gone through it several times, but not after 22 years! You surely are blessed with many memories of a loyal pet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Marisa - loving the colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your gorgeous Scruffy. I know exactly how you feel as we had to have our beautiful black cat Meg put to sleep at nearly 15 years old. It may sound silly but we thought our home seemed quiet without her - even though she slept most of the time! This was nearly 7 years ago, and even though we have now got 2 beautiful cats who we love dearly, we will always remember our Meg with so much love and affection. It sounds like Scruffy had a wonderful life with you. Hugs to you and your family x
Again, so sorry for your loss~ its so hard!
ReplyDeleteLovely use of patterns with this sketch
I am so sorry about your cat, hun. Beautiful card.
ReplyDelete:( I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Scruffy. Hugs to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI do love your card today using this wonderful sketch. Pretty DPs and such beautiful flowers.
First, I am so sorry about your fur baby. He looks so much like my Littlebit, the face especially. It is so very hard to loose them.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous, you really did the sketch up proud. The colors are fab, the purple shows so beautifully on that green and the soft pink stripe works great.
What a lovely card! Those flowers are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you loss. I've been there with some special dogs and it's so very difficult to say goodbye to those furry family members.
Your card is wonderful Marisa! I love the colors you used and floral image. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies on the loss of Scruffy. I know what this hole feels like and I pray your family will find comfort.
Such a lovely card, Marisa! I again always love seeing your card creations. I think our styles are similar. I am so sorry to hear about Scruffy! My girls and I said goodbye several years ago to Sebastian. I cried like a baby as my vet put him to sleep in my arms. We still talk lovingly about how Sebastian brought us so much joy! May the Lord bring you comfort.
ReplyDeleteMany blessings,
Donna
Beautiful I love the patterned papers you used.. Have a blessed day

Extra hugz!
So sorry you have had to say goodbye to your "baby". Sad days but happy memories! Pretty poppies!
ReplyDeleteThose furry critters hold a special place in our hearts forever......xoxox
ReplyDeleteWiping away tears in reading of your loss, Marisa. Our pets have special places in our lives, and even more in our hearts. I had two schnauzers for many years and although they've been gone for a while, not a day passes that I don't miss them deeply. My niece loves to hear stories about Casey and Squirt (who she never did meet), so telling her about their shenanigans keeps their memories strong. As hard as this is, know that Scruffy loves you for the outstanding life you gave him...and he'll be waiting at Rainbow Bridge. Yeeshhh..now I'm almost sobbing! Sorry! Anyway, your card is fabulous, especially the Twinkling H2O coloured flowers. A reminder that I have some of those paints, too...
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
