The day before my neice's graduation from high school her beloved dog died suddenly. She was devistated. I felt helpless to comfort her. So when I got up the next morning I knew I had to make her a special card. I tried using the center step fold design without much success.
So I modified it and it worked pretty good. What made it special is my Mom worked with me on this card because she was in town for the graduation. She did all the stamping and cut out the paws. She was a little hesitant at first but I told her it is just paper she can't hurt anything. She did a great job. My neice cried when she saw the card. But we saw smiles later when she graduated.

I know how much my daughter cherishes her dogs so I can imagine how it is for your niece. She's lucky she has family who understand as well. Very nice tribute to a loved pet. TFS

That was very thoughtful of you to honour Aspen's memory with such a sweet card. You helped your niece get through a very difficult time so she could enjoy her graduation. Loss of a pet is hard at any time.

What a sweet card. It is so special that you and your mom made her this with Aspen's picture. I am sorry your neice lost her beloved Aspen. I know she must have been devastated.
