This weeks Crafty Secrets Challenge was to make a card honoring friendships, and add some sparkle. I made this card "Missing You Girlfriend" for my best friend of almost 40 years. We see each other maybe once every 2-3 years now as we live so far apart and our lives are very busy. We stay in touch by telephone calls and cards to one another - this seemed perfect.
I placed a Crafty Secrets DP from their Pastel Pack onto a pink top folded card base, then ran a black panel through my Cuttlebug using the "Textile" embossing folder and adhered to the DP panel and edged it in Silver Stickles by Ranger. I edged the image from the Crafty Secrets Wacky and Wonderful Vintage Image Booklet in Silver Stickles, adhered it to a black mat, then a pink mat, then a dp mat, punched a hole on both sides, thread my ribbon through and tied a knot. It was very simple and quick - quick only because I pretty much had the idea going around in my head for a couple of days before I even began.
I hope you like it, let me know what you think. Please visit often - I love hearing from you.

Very pretty mom, I know aunt Judy will love it-Sara
This is a very pretty card, such nice colors. TFS.
Very pretty cards. I love the colors and the embossing. 40 years is a long time to have a friendship, you must have met in grammar school. Too bad you can't see each other more often.
This card is just so, so pretty! Your friend is going to just be overwhelmed with you kindness!! GREAT job!!
