Old Friend

I found an old Army friend of mine recently.  He was the first person I met when I went to my duty station in Germany.  He took me to my first German restaurant and I had my first authentic German beer.
I decided to scrapbook a two page layout as a tribute and thank you to him.  I used the Felicity kit from CTMH along with the stamp set that came with the kit.

I cased one of the sample layouts as described in the Reflections book and added some additional touches.  I love CTMH basic craft buttons and added some to this layout.

I loved the flourish and used it in many places.  I added some little gems on some of the flourishes to give it a little something.

I also did some hand stitching around the boarder and in between the diamonds.  The little bird I stamped in Barn Yard Red on a piece of white cardstock and cut out.
Well, its time for me to go.  We got close to 18 inches of snow and I need to start digging the car out.
Have a great one,
Michelle

MoJo Monday

Hello Everyone!

Today, I am posting a very special card that was created by my BFF Carol. :) Every time I look at this card, I find something new and interesting to look at.  To me, it has the wow factor!

She used Spellbinders for the sentiment along with some bling around the scallop boarder.  Underneath the ribbon is a strip of black cardstock that was boarder punched with a Martha Steward punch.  The pattern paper came from DCVW.  Here is another look:
