So Sorry

Hello all!  It's day 3 of MFT Teaser Time and I am excited to be sharing this card with you.  It's sweet and simple, and executes an idea I've had since I first saw the new Pet Charms Die-namics.  I envisioned creating a stitched collar with eyelets running all the way down the center (evenly spaced of course LOL).  I envisioned the collar threaded through the buckle and the dog bone charm handing from it.  Well... I envisioned THIS:



Sometimes you just have to keep it simple to keep the focus on what YOU want it on. In this case, the amazing new Pet Charms Die-namics and the "collar".   I went with a "gender neutral" color combo, and kept the patterns to a minimum.



I wanted to incorporate the new Clearly Sentimental about Pets (this month's Triple Scoop Set) with the new Pet Charms Die-namics and decided to create a pet sympathy card.  I cut apart the words "So Sorry" from one of the sentiments to stamp it on the dog bone die-cut.  



Inside the card, I included the entire sentiment, as well as another of the charms, a cute "reverse" paw print.  I'm not looking forward to having to use this card at any point, but I am glad I will have it on hand, as I cannot imagine losing one of my " fur babies".



Speaking of fur babies... I don't want to miss the opportunity to share my fur babies with you.  :)  These are our sweet puppies, Puffle and Ripley.  Puffle is a little over 2 years old and Ripley is a little under 2 years old.  They are both so sweet and have such different, but cool personalities.


Puffle AKA Princess Puffle.  She loves sitting or laying on pillows and is quite vocal about what she wants.  Totally spoiled!  :)  What is a puffle?  Check it out HERE.



This is Ripley.  Named after Ripley in the movie, Alien.  This picture is from tonight.  She grabbed a tortilla chip that someone dropped on the floor during dinner and held in her mouth for a solid 30 minutes.  LOL  She is quirky, mellow, and very sweet.

Awesome! I need this set TODAY! My mother-in-law had to put her dog down yesterday, on the anniversary of my father-in-law's death. This set would have been perfect. I will definitely be purchasing this set for a card for her, as well as many of my friends who are pet owners.
