Friends in Unexpected Places

When I saw this image from Fresh Brewed Designs,

I just knew I had to have it!

To be completely honest, I really struggled to find

just the right sentiment.

My inner smart alec wanted to do something a little more naughty,

but "cute" won out in the end!

The current month long challenge at the

Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge Blog

is: LOVE

Well, as strange as it may seem, I have truly grown to love

some of the friends I have made online thru the crafting community!

Heather, the awesome artist at FBD is one of those friends!

She amazes me every day with her talent and her kind, generous heart!

I colored the image with my Copics and used some Glossy Accents 

on the fish bowl to make it look shiny!

I used just a little Glossy Accents and actually smeared it around

with my finger to give it the 'fish bowl' look!

The flowers I cut with my Cricut

using a rolled rose SVG file I made.

The papers are from Making Memories.

The tan seam binding is from JLJ Designs.

The badge in the corner is from

Fresh Brewed Designs at The Crafter's Cafe!

If you haven't stopped over to visit The Crafter's Cafe,
