Scrapping With Lisa's Designs My BFF Blog Hop


I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin
'So tired of searchin
''Til you walked into my life
It was a feelin'
I'd never known
And for the first time I didn't feel alone
My Best Friend


Granted Tim McGraw is singing of a lover as a best friend but there are so many ways to have a best friend!!! Today we are using Scrapping with Lisa's Designs whether it be Best Buds (http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_117/Best-Buds.htm), Best Friends (http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_118/Best-Friends.htm), or BFF (http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_119/BFF.htm). We all have that special someone that we can share our most intimate secrets, fears, and accomplishments!

I chose to do a Layout for my project!
I used a picture of my Daughter and her BFF  ( I just love these girls ) They have been friends since Junior High and are as close as sisters ( my daughter is an only child and Susan  is the sister she never had) I watched then grow from awkward preteens into two beautiful, strong, intelligent, and talented women, and awesome mothers.


I used Lisa's BFF file printed the adobe version on 1/2 sheet of 8.5 x 11 white card stock, fussy cut the pieces and inked the edges with various colored Martha Stewart inks then glued them together. I used Peachy Keen Stamps "Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment" for their faced and white gel pen on the eyes and teeth. Added a little pink chalk to their cheeks I also printed the letters BFF out and fussy cut them as well. Inked the white edges with black ink.The gorgeous patterned paper is from a paper pack by ATD I was fortunate to get at Tuesday Mornings for a great price.
Hope you like my layout and the fun BFF image by Lisa, she has tons of great files and there is an awesome sale going on at her site as well, Now through the end of August you can get 55% off a $25 purchase just use the code summer at checkout.
