Friends

When I hear the word "friends" I think of Bette Midler and her singing..."you gotta have friends." I have been lucky enough in my life to be blessed with some of the best friends a girl could ever want. From my oldest and dearest friend ever, Olivia - she and I met in 7th grade and are still friends today to my newest friend Lee, whom I met online on the TSG forum.

This week's challenge at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #125 is to make a card and it must contain the word friend. I colored up my image at the beginning of last week and now I am down to the wire to get it in for this week. I don't know where the week went, but it sure flew by. I love this Cherry Blossoms set from Flourishes and although I have had the set for nearly two years I just recently inked it up. I'm not so afraid to color my Flourishes stamps anymore.

I also decided to use Mojo Monday's 199 sketch this week to give this beauty life. I have only played with Mojo Monday about 3-4 times because I have also been so intimidated to play with those amazing designers. I have gained a great deal of confidence and I am so looking forward to playing in different challenges.

I just love how this came out. I hope you do to. Thanks for stopping by.

TMS #98 & Mojo Monday 195

Good Morning Crafters -

It's a beautiful humid day in Denver. It poured cats and dogs last night...I loved listening to the sound. Today Melissa doesn't have a sketch, but Angela one of our talented design team members has provided us with a photo for our Inspiration Judged Challenge today. We also have a wonderful sponsor - Tiffany Doodles. She has provided the team with some wonderful digi's. I was fortunate enough to get flowers - cherry blossoms.

Where I had a hard time is that cherry blossoms are not yellow - so I took other things from the photo. I love the color of the perfume and the gold brads. I also decided to join in the fun and enter my card for Mojo Monday. I used their sketch to set up my card. I think this is the first time that TMS has had a picture for inspiration - so I can't wait to see what inspires you and what you come up with.



I appreciate your stopping by. I hope you'll stop by the rest of the design team to see their wonderful creations and leave a little love. We'll all be by to check out your work as this is our judged challenge week and we will be looking for your project!

Have an awesome day!

Theresa
