Scrapkit Rainbow Bridge by me here

The tube I used 10-3 is by Maryline Cazenave, you can purchase this tube from CDO here

The name of the font I used is Tamborine

I dedicate this tut to all of my four legged children who have passed on to the rainbow bridge throughout my life starting when I was only 6.  Her name was Mick & even though I was young when she passed I will never forget her.  She saved the lives of my mother, my brother, my great grandma & me when I was a baby before my sister was born.  My great grandmother had been staying with us and my dad was working the night shift.  She had left the gas stove on & went to bed.  Mick couldn't wake anybody so she came & shook my crib to wake me up which you know what happens when a baby wakes up!  That finally woke my mother who got up & opened all the windows & shut off the gas.  I've heard many similar stories about animals saving lives.  I of course remember none of it, this was told to me many times over the years by my mother.  I think of Mick & all the rest often
