Friend of Mine...

I had the pleasure of getting away for a half-day just last week, to spend a little time with my long, (lost, it almost seemed for a bit) best friend.  

It had been more than a year since we had been able to get together, so it was a long overdue visit...and just so very nice (and so very short!).  So nice to be able to talk, after all that time, like it hadn't been that long at all!  So nice to have that kind of a friendship!  

While we were out and about, I got to briefly visit a Michaels and found some Basic Grey paper that I just immediately loved.  Thought I would use it to make a special card for my buddy...I've never sent her one of my handmade creations!  I thought this Craft's Meow sketch would work just fine as a starting point of a card for her that included some of my favorite things...(that sentiment up above for starters)...

...a pretty layered butterfly, the smallest being from TCM's Friend of Mine set...

...a pretty chipboard frame (Maya Road)...some Melissa Frances trim and pretty pins...

...all wrapped up in a white-washed summery look...

I hope she likes it...it's just  my style, just for her!
Now, as promised, I'll put this sketch to rest.  I may have flipped and stretched it a bit for this one anyway!  The pretty little butterfly and the lovely sentiment are both from The Craft's Meow Friend of Mine set...just a little mini set,...but it always adds the loveliest touch!
Thanks so much for stopping in!  So, so nice to be creating again!!
Have a great week!
