The image is an Inkadinkado stamp which I have coloured with Copics and some Prisma Pencils. I have distressed around the edges with some Antique Linen DI. Can't remember who the papers are by, if I remember I will have a look in the daylight. I have used my Dienamics Bracket die for the border which you can just see. The flower and butterfly are Memory Box, I added the bow from the MB Hearts die. The lace, pearls, cloth brad and ribbon are all from my stash. Sentiment is Craftwork Cards from some candy I won from Kath a while back - thank you!!
Cleo passed away very peacefully yesterday, my husband was with her as I had gone to see my aunt. We have buried her in the garden with a fairy looking over her. Although it was very difficult to do I am so glad we did it as she was able to stay in her home and we could see that she benefited from being with us surrounded by love and attention. In the space of less than three weeks we have lost two dearly loved cats. One was a complete surprise as he was our youngest and although Cleo was 17 she was very fit until about a month ago. Poor Harry is looking a bit lost now you just don't know what they are thinking, although they were never all the best of pals I am sure they must miss each other.
I am hoping to resume my crafting today nothing like a bit of crafty therapy to help take your mind of things. Thanks for all your kind words regarding Cleo and my new DT post you are all so wonderful, although we don't know each other personally, its so nice to have friends all over the world! Thank you for looking today and take care xx
Congratulations Susan on your new DT post, you'll love being on the team, Marie, Shirley and the owners are all fabulous people.
