Today I did some things that I needed to get done… God has been nudging me!… so when I took my nap I prayed for a card… woke up with this one in my head…. I love this Meow cart…it is just so sweet… and we have a few cats along with our dog, Shaggy… I just couldn’t make it without my animals… to me animals are one way God sends his love to us…

This was suppose to be an easy card…but I had to re-cut the girl… I didn’t like how she looked when you layered her skin pieces…so I went back and cut her out in the color of her dress…and in the flesh color…and trimmed her dress away and layered it on top of the flesh color…it is much easier this way!!.. Looks much better when put together… I did trim a scoop out in the neck of the dress and added the white collar and the white lines on the dress with a white gel pen.

This card is a labor of love!... Craig a wonderfully sweet young man at work lost his Grandmother this week .... and his parents are so special too you can tell by how he talks about them... I wanted this card to be a special memory of Craig's grandmother... we had talked often during her stay at the hospital about how much she loved her puppy dog... Craig so understands how much I love my dog, Shaggy and had compared it to how much his grandmother loved her sweet puppy... and then when I was leaving work I asked Craig what would remind his dad of his grandmother..he said she loved her yard... her flowers... so this is what I came up with.... I so hope that it touches Craig and his family in a sweet memory way! thank you for looking... Hugs Jeannie
