FMS416 Glad You're My Friend

Happy Saturday, peeps!  Hey look!  It's NOT a Christmas card!  I got my first order from the upcoming Occasions catalog and these beautiful papers were in it!  They're from a collection called Best Dressed, and they're so pretty, I thought one of them would work well with the FMS sketch for this week:

Yikes, I almost didn't want to do those wonky layers, but I pushed through and did it anyway!  I paired my floral design with some more gingham, and used a sentiment from Fable Friends, embossed in white on Lovely Lipstick cardstock for my sentiment:

I can't tell you how EXCITED I am that SU finally came out with stitched scallop dies!  Yippee!  These are available in the upcoming catalog as well!  I diecut a panel from the center of my gingham paper on the front to put on the inside, along with a sentiment from a new set (which bundles with the dies as well!) called So Sentimental, stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink:

And for my front sentiment, I diecut a partial panel from a larger die, then ran it through my Big Shot again, just cutting the edge to make a smaller panel!  I accented it with some Polka Dot Organdy ribbon and a little leaf from Bloom & Grow:

Thanks for popping in today!  

Silly girl!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
