SO SORRY

Do you ever send sympathy cards when an owner loses a pet?  I do, especially when I know how much the family loved him and the hole his absence has made.

Below is such a card I made for my son and their family when they made the very heart-wrenching decision to end the suffering of their beloved beagle Marty.

Marty was not a fussy dog, so I chose no bow for this card, but did stamp the paw prints on the ribbon and popped up the mat with dimensionals.

supplies used:
stamps:  So Sorry, D is for Dog (retired)
CS:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
ink:  Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Versamark
etc:  Early Espresso 1/4" stitched grosgrain, Natural 7/8" Cotton Ribbon, stampin' dimensionals; stampin' sponges

It's not always a matter of making something grand.  Most often what brings a smile to the heart and a Wow! to the lips is just a little something to show that you care about the things that matter to others.

I hope your every day is one that you can touch another's life in a personal and meaningful way.
