friends forever

This week has been one of emotional ups and downs.  But today was definitely a bright spot!

Earlier today I got to meet one of my friends that I’ve come to know through the All That Scraps design team.  It was such a fun day and I needed it so much since I am missing my friend Linda.   

Lesa Rapp came to my state with her hubby who was here on business.  So we were able to plan a time to get together for lunch.  Yay!  I just adore Lesa’s projects and it has been a lot of fun getting to know her online.  When we met, she was waiting with flowers for me and a few cards that she made with my images….how sweet was that?!  It is so cool to see what everyone makes but even more so to touch & feel them!  *big grin*

OK, now about the project.  I made this covered Jr. Legal pad to give Lesa (which paled in comparison to the cards she gave me).  I just started with a piece of cardstock that was long enough to cover the front and back and scored the center a bit for the spine.  Then the pad is attached to the inside of the back.  They are very simple to make.  I think the rest is pretty self-explanatory, so here’s the deets:

stamps- Ladybug Friends by Cookie Crumbs; paper- Cosmo Cricket Jitterbug, SU! Creamy Caramel, unknown brown; ink- Memento Black; accessories- Jr. Legal pad, silk flowers, brads, button, Labels 4 Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Friends Forever, Cinnamon Stickles.

And here’s a pic of Lesa and I after a yummy lunch at Red Lobster.  Thanks for a fun day, Lesa!
