Friends Don't Let Friends Crop Alone

Good Morning,

I have a group of four neighbors that I get together with at least once a month to crop, scrapbook, make cards and just have fun.  I saw a saying once that said "Scrapbooking is better than therapy." I think this is true.  When you find some women who all have the same hobby as you do and they all enjoy laughing & talking it is fun.  Recently I attended a crop night that was extra special to me.  We seemed extra giggly and silly, at first, we were really joking around more than usual, just so happy to be together.  As the night wore on, we got quiet and we started talking about our families, the people we had loved who had passed on, the people we had loved who had let us down when we needed them the most.  And our hopes and dreams for the future.  It was one of those nights when you really connect with each other and you know you will be friends forever.

I wanted to make a card to send to my friend Joanne to remember that fun night.  I had a digi but I could not find any "digital scrapbooking paper" so of course I went to my new friend Jane Bradshaw at Coosty Creations.  She made me a Kit!  A cute Digi of a scrapbooking bear, some scrapbooking paper and fantastic scrapbooking sayings.  You can find them all HERE at the Stitchy Bear Outlet.  

Do you see how cool this paper is?  There is scissor paper, a paper filled with scrapbooking  papers and eyelet paper, perfect for a scrap page, the digital stamp couldn't be cuter, and then you have all of the sentiments!

There are so many uses for this set.  You can send a card to a fellow blogger...maybe someone that hangs up the cards you send her as a valance...hint, hint.  You could make cards to send to the winner of your blog candy, or to thank someone when you win blog candy  I love the sentiments "When in doubt, add glitter" and "Scrapbookers Do It On The Table" so funny!  Oh!  I just realized I have a bloggy friend who is a total Paper Diva!  I have to make a card for her!  To purchase the sentiments, please click HERE.

Here is a closeup of the digital stamp.

She is so cute, she just made me happy coloring her!
