Best Friends Forever

There is a day set aside to celebrate Best Friends Forever. It was on Monday and it is a great day to reflect on your best friends and think about all the wonderful times you have spent together.

One of my best friends forever had a milestone birthday, so myself and another friend got together to celebrate her.

One of the things the 3 of us like to do when we get together is play Scrabble. Not just one game but many games. We have been playing for years. So along with the birthday celebration, it was also scrabble tournament day.

We take turns hosting the event, and always start with a very nice breakfast and then continue to play, talk and eat through the rest of the day. Yesterday was no exception. 6 Scrabble games later, the champion was the birthday girl. How fitting.

Here is the card and tag that I created for my Best Friend Forever.

Recipe

Stamps: Endless Birthday Wishes.

Ink/Markers: Watermelon Wonder, Bermuda Bay.

Paper: Pool Party, Watermelon Wonder, Cherry On Top DSP Stack.

Accessories: Banner Punch, Chevron Border Punch, Whisper White Baker’s Twine, Brights Candy Dots, Cherry On Top Washi Tape, Tissue Paper.

Recipe

Stamps: You’re So Sweet.

Ink/Markers: Watermelon Wonder, Bermuda Bay.

Paper: Watermelon Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Tip Top Taupe, Whisper White, Cherry On Top DSP Stack.

Accessories: Big Shot, Mini Treat Bag Thinlits, Scallop Top Tag Punch, Project Life Corner Rounder Punch, Cherry On Top Washi Tape, Bermuda Bay 1/8” Ribbon.

These two projects were fun to make. The card features a present and a banner. The present is stuffed with tissue paper to make it look authentic. I stamped the word “happy” from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp 2 times in Watermelon Wonder ink and added the word “birthday”.

When using the same colour ink as the paper, the image appears slightly darker than the paper. This technique is great for doing tone-on-tone paper craft projects.
