Friendship...Layers of Color Style!

Today I'm celebrating my third week as guest designer for Layers of Color.

I have a looong post today so forgive me. But it should be fun...lots of pics. ;D You can click on any of the photos for a larger view if you'd like.

  I have a group of "friendship" projects today.

I like the warm, cozy colors used in this group.

Just like a wonderful friendship should be...warm and cozy! 

 

Speaking of friendships... the Layers of Color Design Team girls  are the sweetest, most encouraging  group you could ever meet. They are also uber talented. I hope you will drop by the Layers of Color blog and see what I mean!

Now, on to my projects for this week:

OMG Diana - what beautiful projects!!! Do you have a tutorial on the cards and folio? The "I Care" card looks like leather, with the center embedded. I HAVE to become a follower so I can look at your beautiful work every day. Thanks so much for sharing and being a guest designer. If you can give me some directions, my email is smarch@wildblue.net. Hugs and have a wonderful week. Sharon :o)

Hi Diana - I love the way you have used the stencil on the side of your note paper - that is so creative, and to use two layers on a note page is something I just would not have thought of.
Blessings
