Friends as one of my blessings. I often find myself guilty of taking friends and friendships for granted, but a good friend reminded me that that's what friends are for. When things are fine and dandy, friends kind of take the back seat. But when a crisis happens, who's there to jump in the front seat to help steer you the right path? Friends. When a relationship failed with a boy, it was friends who helped me find myself again. When I found love, it was friends who helped me celebrate. When I gave birth, it was my best friend who stayed through the night to make sure I was ok before she left the hospital to go home to her children and husband. She was the one who kept my worried mother company and only delivered good news to her. She was the one who assured Justin I would be ok, because she had given birth two times already. She was one of the first few people to see Kalea for the first time. She is my best friend.
Good friends are hard to come by. And I am so blessed to have a group of friends I can truly call sisters. And not so long ago, I 'met' Kristen as she guested at CatScrap. Along with Danielle of Something Blue Studios, we three created About, and I don't know how it happened, but it became a sensation... It was like magic and everything just fell into place and was simply... perfect. Since then, Kristen and I have gotten to know each other pretty well and often share secret words or inside jokes as if we've been friends for years. Kristen quickly became someone I can count on. And now my online days are filled with even more giggles! So it was bound to happen... A collab was bound to happen. And it did!
Kristen and I created Count on Me, a digital kit about the true meaning of friendship and the importance of scrapping about friends. Bursting with gorgeous papers and over 60 fun coordinating elements (all with and without shadows) with two complete alpha sets (Scandinavian characters included) to match, Count on Me is ideal for friendship layouts to keep those good times cherished. Nearly all elements come shadowed as well as unshadowed. All elements and alpha are individual PNG files, and all papers are JPG files. Everything created at 300 dpi.
