Sad Day

     This is a very sad day for my family. Our cat "Smokey" passed away last night. She had been sick and in a lot of ways it was a blessing, but it is still very hard. My son decided that he wasn't going to church with my daughter and i this morning.  His heart was breaking and he needed some time alone. When i'm sad i like to be by myself to sometimes, so we respected his wishes. He seemed to feel a little better after we arrived home.
     On a much brighter note, I finished a card today. I used  Meljen Designs image called "Snowboy".It was mounted using Spellbinders Square die, label die and a doily outlined in glitter glue. I colored the images with my Copic markers today, added Glitter glue and Puff paint also to the image.  The base is layered with papers from DCWV and i added Confetti Snowflakes that i just bought from Walmart and then since the Meljen challenge this week is stars, i added many star buttons all over from my stash.

  12. Hi Deonna: I am so sorry about your cat...it is such a heartache when an animal passes...I had a dog that was killed and you know...sometimes I think it is harder than a person...so my prayers are out to you. Hang in.

    In the meantime - you have created the most beautiful card. Snowy, blue and glittery! Wow what a winning combo. It is stunning deonna! Feel very proud of yourself okay? Good luck in the challenges and of course ours at Sentimental Sundays. Hugs for you, Samara - DT.
