Another scrapbook layout and this is of my dear departed Bramble. We had him from a kitten and he was the sweetest cat you could meet. Even friends who don't like cats liked him. Sadly he became ill when he was 14 and we had to make that awful decision to stop him suffering anymore. He loved to chase squirrels up the tree until one turned round and scratched his nose and that was that. I can't imagine he would ever have caught one as he never came home with any offerings for us thankfully.
So to my layout which is a simple one. I used some embosed Core'dinations which I sanded, added some distressed papers, diecut kittens and birds on a wire, cat and meow buttons I have had for a very long time and some art deco letters.
It is such a coincidence that I had just completed this layout and then saw a blog post on Sugar Nellie about some new stamps which will be cats or dogs. Karen was asking for a generic name and I am thrilled that she chose Bramble so he will be immortalised. Mind you he may be a dog stamp!

He looks adorable. I lost my last cat, Charlie, 6 years ago. He was gorgeous cat and so funny. He made 19 years. It's so sad when you have to let them go. This page is so beautiful and a wonderful tribute to a furry friend. Hugs, Carol S.xx
