Card #16 for 2024

Oh Friends, and fellow crafters, If you 

follow my blog, then you know already

the heartache.   My beloved HP had to be put down. 

My dad use to get HP all sorts of toys and so 

I wanted to make sure to thank him.  Hp loved 

his grandpa and the toys.  This card was hard to 

make and surely not one of my best, but I 

had a hard time concentrating and it seemed 

like the creative juices were all bottled up.  

I went to  my one of my favorite sketch challenges

for inspiration and that's where I will submit this card.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Happy tails (stampin up) 

Pawprints on our hears, Pocket full of happy

(Simon Says)

I would have liked to color the little puppy

much like HP all black and white,

but then you can't see his little nose and eyes so

goodly, so I went with a little brown pup. 

I love the sentiment, because my dad loves

puns so this is perfect.  The inside sentiment is 

absolutely true. 

These are the last hours with our beloved

friend and companion. 

This is how sweetly he came home,

now at peace and no pain, but always

so lovely with his crossed paws, he does 

that on his own. 

My heart is broken and I feel completely

crushed by the weight of his absence, 

the house is so still and quiet and yet it

is deafening  at the same time. 

I updated his profile picture on the side of my blog.

This picture below is where we laid him 

to rest in our yard. 

My daughter sent me this picture below,

On Thursday, the day we put him down. 

I don't know how I'm going to get thought this,

In my head I know one day at a time sweet Jesus,

but my heart hurts so bad, he's all I had all day

by myself, he was my world.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Luke 23:43KJV

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, 

Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
