Friends

Stopping in with a quick card I made this morning. I have been blessed with an amazing group of girlfriends! I am so lucky to have them around. They are the kind of friends who check in everyday and call or text for no reason.  When life gives stress, those are the little things that help so much!  Here is a card I made for one of them...

I re-cut the border die in brown to add in the little circles.  Then I just stamped the sentiment right on the pattern paper.  I just got this pattern paper at a scrapbook store in Colorado.  Love those blooms!

Hope you are all doing well!  I am home but off again to tackle another busy schedule!  I've said it before but I could really use 3 more hours in everyday and maybe another day in the week just to stare at the ceiling.  Ha!  Thanks for coming by!

Very pretty and uplifting card. I like the brown you put inside the border. It enhances the card a lot.

You + patterned paper = pitter patter for my heart! I love this! Whose paper is this? I love that shade of green with the pop of aqua. So beautiful, Laurie!

It's called summer with kids home LOL! Drink deep of your time with them, they grow up waaay too quickly. I'm going to be reeking of chlorine for the next two weeks as the kids have swimming lessons. Love the card - sure your friend will greatly appreciate receiving it.

I love the way you photograph your cards. They are so clear, and having something in the picture too is a really nice touch.
