Our daughter's beloved lab pup met an untimely end last week. His curiousity exceeded his good sense and he ran out into the street into the path of a vehicle. He was a fantastic dog and was deeply loved and cared for by all of us.
I did many searches for pet quotes trying to figure out what to say - what I came up with was inspired by a few SCS cards, some pet sympathy stamp sets I saw and a few of my own thoughts.
Since photographing this card I did some sponging around the white oval on the front and added a couple of tiny heart stamps on the inside and outside of the card. Kept it pretty simple. Verses and puppy paws are computer generated. A hard card to make - kept tearing up because I know how much my daughter is hurting. Her dog had helped her through a tough patch in her life.
Never thought that someone else losing a dog would make me so sad.

Diz, I know I'm out of zee loop at the moment, but I did read a little of the thread about your daughter's lab passing away. Now that I see your beautiful card and story, you've got me crying too!!! How am I supposed to get back on track and back in the flow now that I'm a crying mess? I know, it's not ALL ABOUT ME!! LOL!! I think this is one of the most beautiful and comforting cards I've ever seen for a beloved pet. Your sentiment is beautiful and your colors and layout divine! I know your daughter will absolutely appreciate your card and it will bring her comfort at such a truly difficult time. Hugzi to you and your daughter Diz!! TFS!!

Heather, what a beautiful card! I am so sorry to hear about Chance and the huge loss in your daughter's life. We had a dog do that years ago, and it was awful! Make your daughter remember all the fun times with Chance.
