Hi Everyone, I had a call recently from one of my Sisters in Law who, through tears, told me they had to put their cat down to her illness and old age. She was a stray and was found full of fleas and sores, my brother and she, took her in, and saw she had a wonderful life of many more years.
This is the card I made for them. I used my Silhouette to cut the heart frame, and used Photoshop to make the centre. I used a photo they had sent me, of Chloe, on my brother's lap, using the same blue as his trousers, to make her stand out in the circle shape I used.
heart frame - My Scrap Chick
circle die - Tonic
For the insert, I found a couple of verses on the web and adapted them to suit. I used the same photo on the left of the page.

So beautifully done Faith, always so hard to cope with, yet we go there time and again because they give so much to us.
