My poor sister. Her daughter passed away on July 14, 2024. Then she had to put her old dog Tigger down on Aug. 1, 2024. Tigger was a pitbull, and was 17 1/2 years old. One of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. Here are the materials I used to make this card-

1.  Dies: Circle Fold Frame (Poppystamps), Lattice Small Curb (Poppystamps), Adriana Small Curve Border (Poppystamps), Inside Out Stitched Circles (My Favorite Things). I found the Poppystamps dies are retired, but available at other retailers.
   
2.  Stamps: sentiments (Loved by a Dog-Unity Stamp Co.), stamped with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink.
