Hi everyone! Hope you're well! Sad day yesterday, my old doggy was put to sleep :'-( He'd had a rough old year with lots of health problems due to his age and the vet had just given him stronger pain killers for his collapsed hip and his body just couldn't cope, his stomach was extremely damaged and he was in a lot of pain so it was definetely time to finally let go. I wasn't quite expecting it yesterday so was bit of a shock but I knew it would happen sooner or later. Very tearful at the moment I loved him lots! :'-( Anyway onto today's card: I've made this for a lovely friend of mine who's really been there for me. This is totally us on a night out before I got severely ill. The black and white print paper is just her style and I added both our favourite colours, hers is red and mine is mint green. Ribbon Girls Challenge this week is Glitz & Dazzle, so I added lots of Red Glitz it glitt...
