Happy Monday! One of the best parts about this semester for me is not having to be anywhere on Mondays until work at 6:00 - makes Mondays much more enjoyable. :)
I received sort of a strange request for a card - from my mom, of all people, lol. A few weeks ago we had to put our dog down (sorry - I don't want this post to turn into a tearjerker!) and she wants to send a card to the vet thanking her since it was done so peacefully. I swear she gets crazier by the day in her old age. :) How do you make a card like that?! I wasn't sure.. but the sketch challenge at Peachy Keen this week made it a little bit easier:
And here's my take on the sketch:
I didn't want it to be a depressing or sad card - so I gave the dog (a cut from the Silhouette store - along with the bone) a Peachy Keen face. Twine is from The Twinery and the Washi tape is from Recollections and Freckled Fawn. Papers are DCWV and the pearls are from my stash. :)
My mom liked the card... so I guess it'll get the job done! :)
Have a great rest of your day and thanks for stopping by,
Your card is really cute Ash! I am so sorry for you and your families loss. It can be so difficult losing a pet..they are apart of our family. I hear you about the getting crazier as the parents get older. I can you tell you it only gets worse. There are days when I think my Dad has completely lost his mind..I often find myself saying "what the heck is he thinking"!
ReplyDeleteCute card! And sweet story! I don't think docs/vets/teachers etc ever get enough thanks. That was super sweet of her. And so sorry for your loss! Thanks for joining us in this week's Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm creating a new blog about literature ( what I've read, what I'm reading), but I'm having problems considering a title.
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of something relating to an obsession with literature but I think bookophilia is on the average side.
What do you think of Litophilia? Is it too very much like
"lithophilia" This means the love of stones?
Any ideas? Thanks!.
