Stampin' Up! Summer Silhouettes & Weekly Deals

I'm feeling pretty blue this week.  I lost my kitty of 17 years last weekend.  Here he is holding my hand after I returned from the Leadership Conference last year.  He would follow me like a puppy dog for a week after I had been out of town.

And here he is a week ago, following me around the yard while I tried to take pictures of him.

His last week, not eating and losing strength, was so extremely tough for me.  I was late, later than usual, for swimming on Wednesday morning.  But I sat on the floor with him, while he headbutted me, purred, and nibbled on my sleeve. 

I needed a card to send to the family of a stamp club member that passed away recently.  In her honor, we gathered 132 cards for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, as per her request.  I want to send a note to her family to let them know.  The colors on this week's Fab Friday challenge was perfect for my quiet, subdued mood.  I also used a simplified version of Retro Sketches #109.

Of course I am also a dork.  After I stamped the dark brown, I found it was Soft Suede.  I swear I grabbed for Baked Brown Sugar.  Oh well.
