Saying Goodbye to Friends Having Fun

It’s a sad day…It’s time to say goodbye to Friends Having Fun. I don’t know about you, but I had a blast during these 5 short months we’ve had. I loved coming up with the Color Challenges and playing along with the other groups. But as a farewell, here is a sketch challenge created by the super talented Dani…

I created a layout that I think is quite appropriate…

It’s called Moving Forward. As you can see, I flipped the sketch counter clockwise. Isn’t it appropriate for what is happening right now?

Here’s the original photo:

Check out that main of hair Rhiannon has!!!

It reads: “I love you in this picture. I love the wind in your hair. I love seeing you in motion. You’re such a big girl. Moving forward.”

I took a doily and chalked it with some brown to pick up some of the pretty details on it. I used a punch from EK Success that reminds me of water, and some of my fave Daisiy D’s paper. In addition, I used some a Crafter’s Workshop stencil for my journaling, a couple of rhinestones, and a tiny font from Sizzix which I inked and chalked.

I hope you can tell but my background cardstock (from Prism) is mottled…it really looks like sand! I use this cardstock whenever I’m doing something beachy. You can click on any of my photos to get a bigger view.

So although it is a sad goodbye, I did have a wonderful time with my Friends!!! Thank you to all that participated in our challenges, thank you to Tonya for starting the FHF site, and thank you to Margie, who really did so much for us. But I especially want to thank my fantastic Kaleidoscope Krew! You ladies have ALL amazed me with your sick talents. It was an honor to work with all of you, and I truly hope that we can do it again! Alex, Alyssa, Danielle, Julie, and Laura…you ladies are all awesome! {{{Big Squeezes!!!}}}

So, hop on off to see the rest of the Friends one last time. Thank you again for being a part of Friends Having Fun!!!
