Scrapbooking Therapy.......................

what would I do without it?
Some of you know that on Wednesday,
we found our sweet, 5-month old cat, Bandit,
dead on the road.
Not a good thing to wake-up to.
Lots of tears that day..................LOTS!!!!
It made me print off pictures I had taken of him.
But it seemed too strange scrapping about the day we got him,
on the day we found him dead.
It helped though.
So, I pulled out some of my favorite American Crafts papers
and used CPS Sketch 61 to do this simple layout.
I was always finding Bandit in the strangest places....sleeping.
But isn't that what cats do?
I did another layout, about the day we got him,
but it was a "lift," so I won't be uploading that one.

After 2-days of thinking & crying about Bandit,
I'm finally feeling motivated to scrap.
I just haven't even wanted to be home.
So strange that we got so attached in such a short time.
This morning I managed to do both sketches from 2 Sketches 4 U.
This week they posted Kazan's Sketch #8 and a bonus sketch from Christine.
The first is using Kazan's sketch.
I'm really lovin' these blues & oranges together.

This 2nd card is using Christine's bonus sketch.
I bought this 8x8 paper pad while in NC and love it.
I'm keeping every little scrap:)

That's all for now.
What are your plans for this weekend?
I'm thinking the girls are going to get some grandparent time,
which will leave me free to scrap.
I've been keeping up with house-cleaning all week.
So, not much to do there.
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!!
