Here is my entry for this week's CC and SC together. Been hopping around the house and glad I've made this card, for it is for my oldest friend of 40 + years. Yep, we go waaaaaaaaaaaay back. The little girsl come from PatSmethers, thank you darling. And you Grace for the black thread, love it.
Hope you enjoy, the paper was taken from a back I got from a book store last summer to replace the kraft I didn't get yet. (Next order...) I love those little girls and I pieced their dresses also. Use plaid on the textured paper of the bag.

Peggy, this is so sweet! I love these girls and to know that it is for your dear friend is so touching! Love the layout and special touches. She will smile!

This is very beautiful. I love the weathered look with the textured stamping and little tear! The pieced dresses are great too as are your corners! I think Diane will love this. I also think you might have changed your hair a bit based on the picture you just sent me! Hee Hee

Ms Peggy, what a lovely card this is, and so appropriate for your best friend! 40+ years is really a sister rather than a friend, in my opinion. She will, no doubt, look upon this precious rendition of your times together with tears in her eyes!

40+ years!!! That is indeed a special friendship, and you've made a wonderful card for her. Love your coloring of these sweet girls. I like how you did the ribbon on this, too!

I do love these little girls. They are the picture of childhood innocence and discovery. How wonderful to still be in touch with such a long time friend. She will enjoy this touching tribute to your friendship. Have you heard this quote: Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. CHEERS to friends...
