Goodbye, Columbus

 Inside sentiment:
with heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your beloved companion


I chose Torn, Rainbow, and maybe Transport if you are of the belief that all cats go to heaven... 😊

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. For Time Out #294We have a new challenge for you that opens today and runs through August 13. This time it is a Pick Two challenge. The idea of this challenge is very simple: we give you 6 word prompts and you pick at least 2 for your project!  To be clear, you can pick more than 2 if you like - you can include all 6 if you really want to challenge yourself but just make sure to pick at least 2! Be sure to tell us in your post which prompt you have chosen.


The words for Challenge #294 are:


Torn, Transport, Star, Stripes, Rainbow, Book


We are generously sponsored by lawn fawn with a $25.00 Store Credit for our Challenge winner as chosen by the Design Team.

Our awesome Guest Designer is Bonnie Klass. Bonnie is an incredibly talented and prolific crafter, and we are so pleased to have her with us. Please treat yourself to a stroll through her blog for a delightful experience. You are sure to be inspired.

I have a dear friend who just lost her beloved cat. I zeroed in on the rainbow (bridge) and went from there. Columbus will surely be missed. He was a sweet and gentle guy. He will be missed.

 Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Bonnie and the Design Team have cleverly created for your inspiration. Come play with us! PLEASE mention the Pick 2 prompts that you used on your project. I can't wait to see what you came up with!

No twist on my card

I grew up with cats and have always loved them. They can be snuggly and independent at the same time.  They are wonderful company.
