Best Friends...

Hi there! So happy the weekend is here! Scott and I are hanging out in San Diego for the next few days. I will be teaching a card class at my favorite paper San Diego paper crafting store ~  Paper Tales Saturday morning but the rest of the time, will be spent just relaxing :) I made this card for my sweet sister Tina who will be loving Gretchen and Griffin while we're away. My little suburbanite dogs don't do very well traveling in the car for 5 hours nor do they enjoy city living.
I made this card using the darling girl image from My Favorite Things fun a la modes You Anchor Me stamp set along with a few Die-namics. Sure wish I had her long lean legs! To create the rolled rose, I used the smallest of the two dies from the Die-namics MINI Rolled Roses set along with pretty My Favorite Felt English Rose and to create the sentiment tag, I stamped the Best Friends sentiment from My Favorite Things Essential Sentiments on strip from Die-namics Sentiment Strips set.

For sketch inspiration, I played along with the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club challenge:
That's all for today ~ thanks so much for visiting! Hope you have a great weekend!
I'll be back Sunday with an all new CR84FN Color Challenge!
Be Sweet :)
