So, for all of you fantastic ladies out there, and you know who you are, here is a little card:
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tattered Rose & Shabby Shutters Distress Ink, Copic Markers
Stamps: Hero Arts (CL342 & K5431 Tall Flower)
Other: PTI Edgers #1 Die, PTI Mat Stack I Die and Eyelet Lace Border Die, Corner Chomper, Pearls (Hero Arts)
I did use the current OWH Sketch #56 as a guide.
We only arrived in the US last year April, and I am sure that some of you must know what it feels like to have to restart a home, later in life, when you have established your circle of friends. Plus, leaving your family behind is no fun. So, it can be a challenge, but this love of card making and the fact that I got to "meet" all of you and that I also get to "chat" to you in a vitual way, that has helped to take out some of the lumps and bumps in this road that we are travelling. Thank you! A card and a few words is such a feeble way to say thank you, but I hope that you can appreciate what you are adding to my life!

I love the PP you used here! And, THANK YOU for your friendship Brenda!
very cute card!! love the bright colors and the flowers are too pretty!
what a sweet card, brenda! love the bracket edge on the card!
Oh Brenda, I am touched by your words. It must be so hard to up roots and move to another country, i don't know if I would have the courage to do that. I am so glad that your card making has helped you settle in to your new life. I agree that the flickr group is the best group ever, I love it and have to visit daily or I get serious withdrawel symptons. The group of friends we all have is the best in the world.
Happy Belated Birthday, Brenda! Love your sketch card - especially that die cut horizontal strip, really cute. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
Sorry I missed your birthday, Brenda! Hope it was wonderful!! I know how it is to move far from family and friends and the Hero Arts flickr ladies really are amazing!! Thank you for YOUR friendship, too. :)
Oops, I was getting all mushy and forgot to comment on your beautiful card which I LOVE because orange is one of my favourite colours!
So happy that all the flickr birthday wishes touched you so! The flickr group really is the best! I hope that this year is a great one for you! I hope that as you settle more into life in the US you get more roots and friends over here! By the way I must admit I am so curious as to what made you move! Love your card, I like how you used the die!
Thank you for making this special card for all of us! As I've moved many times myself, I can understand how difficult it is to adjust to a new home and having difficulties making friends. Soaking myself into the cards and bags making have helped me to keep myself busy!
A beautiful friendship card! I love your colour combination. Thank you Brenda for being who you are, a warm, sweet and caring friend!
