Just Us Girls #762 ~ Hello, Friend



Ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Ina is our hostess for word week and she's looking for FRIEND cards! I had some ready made bits and bobs in my stash that let me put this one together pretty easily. Take a look...


The little bird is and old SU! set I no longer have. I think it was a stamp and punch set. That leafy branch was part of the punch... I think! My pretty little silver leaves are metal. I picked them up a a local scrapbook store a long time ago. Same goes for that sweet gingham flower. I popped this all onto a card base embossed with an EF I bought at JoAnn last summer. I think this is the first time I've used it! I like the way it matches the stamping on the PTI Mat Stack die cut. I think this turned out kind of cute! 

Okay, how will the word FRIEND inspire you? 

I can't wait to find out!
