Becky's challenge #5

I decided to stop stalking Becky's compose a card challenges and actually participate. I know, I know. What was I waiting for? *grin*
This week's colors were red, white, and aqua, and the only rules are you have to stay within her cutting guidelines and the color scheme. Simple, right?



This challenge was a lot of fun for me, because I was just playing around with no real "goal" in mind. It was nice not to HAVE to make a card for once!
I realize that the sentiment doesn't show up too well in these photos. It says "you're a true forever Friend."

Thanks for stopping by today!
