My son came up to me today and said he found Rachel near the lemon tree in the kitchen. She was acting strange, and when I took a look at her, she was breathing hard and very uncomfortable. So I took her into work for xrays. There was large growth in her belly. Pretty uncommon for a young cat.
We made the decision to put her to sleep, because I was NOT going to have her suffer and starve to death. DD is taking it very hard - though she seems better since telling her Rachel will be sitting on Grandpa's lap. We stopped by the grocery store and picked up flowers for her.
Rachel was one of the best cats I have ever had. She let DD pick her up at any time, and would lay there just like a little rag doll. Very sweet disposition. One of the loudest purr boxes i have every heard. She will definitely be missed out here...
The title letters are grungeboard, painted with orange ink (that I mixed myself, since I didn't have any), then inked with StazOn. I also sanded the top lightly to make the stazon not so bright. 
The patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Out & About shortstack with glitter. I cut out the glittered part, first with scissors, then with a craft knife. Applied pop dots to the back, then set it aside. {Not sure I would want to do this much cutwork again.. it took an hour or more just for that!}
Tore off the corner of the remaining PP scrap and inked it with StazOn Timber Brown ink. Once I decided where I wanted it and the photo to go, I marked on the cardstock, and cut a scrap out of the center. This is what I used for the letters. Once this was done the PP, photo, and cutwork were applied to the cardstock {which came out of my stash, so I am not sure which company it belongs to}.
The photo corner was made by punching first chipboard, then the patterned paper with the EK Success corner punch. The pieces put together, the edges were inked, and then the corner was adhered to the photo.
