Friends. My friends are a part of my life....a part of who I am. I have been blessed with amazing friends and they all bring something different to my life!!! I can cry with them, complain to them, laugh with them, learn with them, encourage them, receive encouragement from them and yes some of them I can even scrapbook with!!!

Our lives are enriched with friends!!!! Your friends might come from your neighbourhood, your work, church, family, etc.

My challenge is��for you to make a layout of your friends!!!! It could be your current friends, friends from years gone by or a combination of the two.

**note: if you already have a layout of your friends how about doing a layout of your DH's friends....your kids friends....your SCS friends....a family that is considered family friends.....your pets friends.....the sky is the limit on how or who's friends you want to show..... the page just must be about friends. ;) Remember, interpret the challenge however you see fit - it's VSBN! It's not about the rules, it's about getting pictures in albums!!!

As soon as I thought about scrapbooking my friends I couldn't get the TV show Friends out of my head!!! So I incorporated that theme into my layout.....

See my sample HERE .

I LOVE scrapping about my girlfriends!

Meeeee too!!!

I need to get some pics of my SCS sistas and do a layout!!!

Have you met anyone IRL?

No :rolleyes:

The friends on SCS that I do know IRL were my friends before we found SCS.....

But I'd still like to do a layout of my virtual friends!!!

Hey Trish! Nice to see I'm on your Friend's layout...I'm a mom and a friend...how many mom's can say that? You've done an awesome job!

same here...

off to work on this one. I have some great pics from my girls weekend last March!

love this idea! Can't wait to start. I wonder if you can save or copy and save your SCS friend's avatar and then print and scrapbook!!

I've thought of that.....I'm not sure they'd be big enough to print though....I have a printer though so I'll have to try it!!!!

They'll all need to have an avvie of themselves too though :rolleyes:

Great Challenge!

Awesome challenge Trish - and you know, I am REAL - I'm a REAL friend, not a virtual one - I just live too far away for us to meet for real - LOL!!!!!

yup!
 

I have...I feel so blessed I've got to meet 6-7 SCS friends IRL! :mrgreen: I even scrapped w/ Anavon & Mary Pat in FL. My job gets me around the country and if I have time, I try to plan to meet up w/ my scrappy SCS sisters! ;)

You're Back!!
 

How are you feeling?! Better I hope :cool:

LOL, yes you are REAL baby!!!!

sry ladies.....my aunt and uncle got here a bit ago....I'll have to bounce between them and here.....:rolleyes:

Talk about bad timing!!!

we're good
 

I think no worries....we're getting pretty good at this chatting/scrapping! ;)

I'm feeling much better - thanks Lela. And thanks to everyone for your kind words.

Hubby is still feeling the full brunt of it, but Maggie and I are much better.

Now, I just have to find some time to get all these wonderful challenges done!!!!

I'm just trying to straighten up so when I get time later in the week, I'll have a clear path to the desk, hahaha!
