ORANGE PAPERIE & CO JANUARY CHALLENGE

Good afternoon from my little neck of the woods. The new challenge is up at Orange Paperie, which has been set by Annette this month. It is a lovely challenge ~ scrap about Friendship with journalling. The girls have created beautiful layouts which are sure to inspire you to create a layout about friendship for you.
I have created my layout of my best friend of over 30 years. I love her to bits , she makes me laugh and knows just what to say when I am being a drama queen. I was sad when she moved to Brisbane as we were practically joined at the hip. I was lucky that she came home for Christmas and we did a road trip together to visit another lovely friend of ours. As my journalling says I couldn't help but think how are road trips were a bit different when we were younger :)


LOVE MY BEST FRIEND


Prima flowers From Craftqueen, I have smudged them with gesso and also accidentally spilled Glam glitter paint on them.
The red doily Chippy is from the Trinket Track, ( you should visit this site, lots of .....well little Trinkets and so reasonably priced)  I have also smudged gesso on it.
And the little cloud is from Addicted to Clouds , the lovely Leanne Jago.


The gorgeous Love chippy is from Scrapmatts, I love this loopy font. I have rubbed gesso over it and then some glitter glam.
So there are many forms of friendship , they are wide and varied. What is special to you?
Love and Peace

What a great tribute to your friendship. My best friend and I met in kindergarten and 45 years later we're still best friends! I got here via cjs14; it's nice to meet you and see your art.
