Friends are…

I had to use this ADORABLE image from Stampavie the Sarah Kay line called Precious moments. She is stamped on natural ivory (so NO your screen isn’t wonky!-I kept this SUBTLE!)

The sentiment is from AmyR Stamps-to be released March 2nd.

 This is my first card using this line! I have to admit I was a wee bit intimidated to color it, but I think it turned out cute I had fun using her. I just had to let my pre-conceived notions of what is normally done, and put a “Lauren” spin on it, instead of trying to make it what everyone else does (which is utterly A-MAZING!). But I like my more SIMPLE approach too.

I LOVE the Holly Hobby feel these images have.  Brings me back to my childhood Oh boy! Im “dating: myself now. I mention this to people younger than me and they are like “Holly WHO?!”.

The little chics are flocked, so nice and fuzzy, just like a new baby chic.

I was inspired by the patches on her clothes, so I used a patched piece of patterned paper by K & Co. I kept the colors muted for the most part-more “vintagey” that way I think.

I hope you like her

If YOU are intimidated, like I was, try stepping out the box, and giving this line a go! You’ll be so happy when you are done with the first one, you’ll want to make another.[/lang_en]
