Celebrate Friendship...

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.


This week's Bloggers Challenge was to create a card or project using the theme "Celebration." I decided not to go with the New Year's Eve Celebration because I will be creating some fun New Year's Eve stuff for the JBelle New Year's Party on Wednesday.


Lately I have been thinking more and more about how many truly wonderful friendships I have made thru the internet...Splitcoast, Design Teams, Blogs, Facebook...they are all places I visit almost daily and they have brought a huge number of Wonderful people into my life. Most of these new friends are out of the area and I can't just call them up and go meet for coffee or a drink, so this card will have to serve as a Virtual Starbucks Afternoon. I used Taylor's TECC48 Sketch for the layout.


Supplies:
Stamps: Coffee Friends, Coffee Multi (Elzybells,) Cup of Tea (A Muse Art Stamps)
Paper: Sprout, Mocha CS (Memory Box,) Spring Moss (Papertrey Ink,) Whisper White (SU)
Ink: Timber Brown StazOn, Close to Cocoa
Misc: Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, sticky pearls, sticky gems, Prima Flowers, Stardust Stickles, Peeled Paint Ditress Stickles

Thanks for stopping by!
