Lovely designs and patterns over at French Bull for today's IC, thanks Steph!
This is also for my Twisted Sister's challenge. We were to make a card that reminded us of happy memories from our childhood. Well, I actually hadn't intended this when I began the card, but this card just started me thinking so much about my best friend growing up, that I just had to include this for our challenge. I almost messed up the card actually, because it got me tearing up thinking of her. We really had the best of times together, she was this sweet blond girl who was so carefree and naive and very clumsy! She would do the funniest things unintentionally at the funniest times and instead of being embarrassed as I would have been, she would just giggle until we were both in tears laughing! I think the card reminded me of her because she really did (and I hope still does) live her life like she meant it!! I have completely lost touch with her, and I regret it so much, hence the tears.
Cherish your friends!
Thanks for looking,
Deena

This is such a great card. I love it. I definitely want to steal this one from you.
Don't give up on your friend. Try googling her or better yet, try http://www.classmates.com or something like that. I've found, and been found, by friends from my past on classmates many times. You never know. She might be out there just waiting to hear from you. Good luck. I hope you find her. Take care.

Great flowers and the coloring is perfect. This is a very nice card, classy and sophisticated. I really think you should try to find your friend, the internet can help you a lot. Then you can show her this card and share your story with her. She would be honored. Good Luck and best wishes. TFS
