Best friends

Hello my friends. Lovely to see you all again. How are you doing? I hope you're doing fine. It's a new week and we are getting closer to spring. It has been a really cold week considering we are in March now and it was actually snowing the other day. When Easter has passed it will probably good weather again as for some reason it's always really cold during Easter when everyone wants to go out and fix their gardens. Strange isn't it?

As it is Monday, it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Card Makers blog. Why don't you join us over there? We have a new theme set and it's Friends and friendship. Your card has to state either one of those. That means you need a sentiment on your card this time. And before you say, You have not gotten that on your card. But I do I will answer then. My sentiment is in Swedish and says "Good friends make good times better and hard times easier. Thank you for being there". So I have Swedish friends on my card, oki? :)

(Click the photo to get a better view of it, looks a bit blurry here)

I have used the lovely image by K.S called pint sized love. Isn't it adorable? I just love it and the kitten is too cute for words. I have coloured the image with my Letraset family and some pencils from Prisma for added details. The designer papers are from Paper Mania and is called Rose garden I think. It's a fairly old pad by now and I discovered that I have three of them. Time to use some of the papers up. Flowers are from WOC and the lilies from Magnolia Sweden. Lace is also from WOC. The big butterfly is from The ribbon girls if I remember correctly. Some stickles is also added to the flowers. Pearls from Magnolia.
