To A Special Friend...

You may have noticed that from my writings that I do send a lot of my cards out to others.  I hope they enjoy receiving the as much as I enjoy sending them?

This particular card was made for my longtime girlfriend Jackie who I has been the best and dearest friend of mine since seventh grade.  We live in different states so we rarely talk or see one another.  However, when we are able to see each other or talk it's like time has never passed.  We go back many years and have many dear memories together growing up through middle and high school.

So sending her this card for her birthday this year is special to me since we cannot be together.

I hope see enjoyed it and will feel a sense of love of our many cherished years of a special friendship.

   Paper Hugs...to all!

Bling, Bling, Bling....

Bling! Bling! Bling!

I think we all love a little bling.  This little card reminds me of just that.

Once in a while we obtain friendships from people who you enjoy and embrace their company dearly whenever your with them.  I made this card and decided I want to send it to a friend that we have not seen in a long time because we live in different states.  I added a nice little friendship verse for the interior of this card just to let her know we are in their thoughts.

I think these stamps from Just Right Cling Stamps called "Kindness" and are a real treasure.  I love it when I use them and cut them out with the coordinating Die Cut from Spellbinders named Labels Twenty.  I think they are classy looking?

I hand made the little daisy flowers with an old punch I have and decided to place them in the center for more color variation.  I then used this pretty rhinestone boarder from "Want To Scrap/Say It With Bling" and coordinating rhinestones also from "Want To Scrap/Nestabling" for the larger stamp that I bought at a stamp show later last year when in Charlotte, N.C.

I love the EF from Sizzix for Stampin' Up called Textured Impressions.  But I call it dotted Swiss.  It always adds a simple but pleasant look to any card.

Thanks for stopping and hope to hear a little comment from you before you leave?
