OWH Sketch Challenge #19 (#1 for me!)


Today has been a hard day for my family. Of course, being here in Germany, I dont always get to hear the news until its afternoon my time :( My brother had to make the tough decision this morning to have his 16 year old dog, Lady (Lab/Shepherd mix) put to sleep. She has been in our family since she was 8 weeks old and my brother and i were 8 (me) and 6 (greg) years old! She had a beautiful litter of puppies in 2000 and was just an all around good family dog! She will be missed. As a loving gesture to my little brother, I have decided to make him a sympathy card in remembrance of his dog, Lady. I figured I would use the OWH sketch challenge #19 AND the gold color challenge to give him an extra special card!!
