More Friendship Projects with Samantha and Anna plus a GIVEAWAY!

Design team member Samantha Sibbet created this pretty pair of friendship cards using the new Floral Lane collection.  Here's what Samantha had to say ... "I always need a stack of cards ready to send for my friends that are miles away.  The Floral Lane Dimensional Phrase Stickers have plenty of sweet sayings and they are an easy way for me add a sweet sentiment to my cards.  For the "Best Friend" card, I cut out a few of the doilies and popped them up with dimensional adhesive."

Design team member Anna Sigga created this gorgeous layout to document the special bond between her daughter and cousin.  Here's what Anna had to say ... "My older daughter and her cousin Isabella share an amazing friendship. Even though they live miles and miles apart and only see each other once or twice a year they still have such a strong connection. The Floral Lane collection is so beautiful and happy - it matches those two girls perfectly. And I just had to try and make the cute butterfly that Suzanne made in a previous post."

I love to scrapbook with my friends. We get together at least once a month at someone's house and I get to play with their tools.

Deanna said...

My closest friends aren't necessarily the closest geographically, but we make it work. I love that we share many common interests including scrapbooking! Thanks for the chance to win!

Nat said...

My closest friend is wonderful, she is like a sister, a mentor, a conscience, a jester, a judge. She has seen me at my worst and at my best and she loves me just the same.

Arjanne said...

I don't have one particular closest friends. I have a few good friends and we eat regularly together.

Samantha Mann said...

one of my very closest and best friends is a fellow scrapper, and i wish we lived closer so we could get together every day and 'play' like we did in middle school! :)

Fifi said...

love them all but the the second card particularly. My best friend is my partner, I know it is vomity but it is true. he was my best friend before we hooked up and it was the best decision I ever made.

Ujjwal said...

Love these beautiful projects!

I have been very lucky when it comes to friends. My best friend from college is someone I can talk to any time of my life and can trust her to give me right advice on anything under the sun. I love the fact that even after being married and settled in our individual lives, we still manage to keep in touch and we never feel that we haven't seen each other for months :)

Amanda Johnson said...

Love all these projects! One of my closest friends has recently started scrapping, and it is SO nice to get to spend time with her catching up and creating! Thanks for the chance!

Aimee K said...

Loving the cards shown today!! Beautiful colors and designs!! My closest friend would have to be my sister. It's nice to have someone who is great to talk to and always give me sound advice!

Thebug415 said...

My closest friend is my hubby...but after that...I would say my mom. I call her everyday, and tell her everything. She is always there for me, and gives advice (even though I sometimes don't like her advice...lol).

April said...

Gorgeous work ladies!!

One of my closest friends actually lives over 7 hours away. She was there for me in a time in my life that I felt very alone and since then, we've been as close as can be! We text nearly every day and try to see each other a couple of times a year. It's hard not to see her more but knowing she's got my back is just amazing. ;)

My life-long bestfriend moved to another province two years ago and she called me at midnight last night to tell me she'd be coming home TODAY! What a great surprise! Love your sweet cards & layouts.

Melinda AKA medialady said...

One of my closest friends just lives a block away. You would think we would see each other all the time but we have such busy lives, sometimes we will go a month or so before we can get together but we talk, email or text each other VERY OFTEN!!!

Sue D said...

My closest friends are crafters like me and we get together to make cards together.

Ashly said...

Friends . . . thats a hard one for me. I lost my best friend in a car accident when we were 17. I cant seem to get close to anyone else. Makes for a lonely girls night out :( Thanks for the chance to win.

My closest friend is going through a rough time right now---her companion of 10 years suddenly died of a heart attack while at work.

My best friend from high school, whom I've known since I was 6, introduced me to my husband while I was visiting her at college. Almost 3 years later, she was visiting us and we introduced her to my husband's brother. We have now been sister-in-laws for almost 7 years!

Very cute projects! Love the cut out doilies!

Jamie said...

Great projects! I have a few close friends that I keep in contact with from our last base we were stationed at. It is so nice to know that you can pick up the phone and hear a comforting voice on the other end:)

Romy said...

My closest friend just graduated high school, just like I did, and it was great to celebrate this wonderful moment together:)

Beth Hallgren said...

I've known my best friend since high school(28 years)and I can count on her through thick & thin!

Cynthia B. said...

My closest friends are my two sisters. No, we weren't always BFF's growing up, but now that we have our own families, we try to do as much as we can together. I would do just about anything for them, and they would do the same for me.
Thanks for the beautiful inspirational projects all week! I need to do a layout about my sisters and me now. :)

Jingle said...

My closest friend is my husband! I can talk to him about anything and he understands me better than anyone out there. He's kinda great.

Lucky Charms said...

One of my closest friends lives about 6 hours away from me. Recently her youngest son was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 3-1/2. She is doing her best to keep her spirits up. To help her and her family out (even though we can't help directly, we've been doing various fundraising activities in our area with friends and family to help her out! I wish I was closer to her so that I could just give her a big hug. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is on their family, but you do what you have to do to cope. Love you Tricia

Aphra said...

My best friend is also a scrapper and a mom. She lives an hour away, so even though we don't see each other much, we keep the phone lines burning. LOL!

Kim M said...

My closest friend actually lives in NYC and is coming to visit me in two weeks!! I am so excited that she will be able to come and stay with me for four days. I better have plenty of diet coke and lime ready cause that is what she loves.

Ryann Salamon said...

Super cute cards and I love the layout - so girly!

My very closest friend and I don't talk as much as we probably should, but when we do it's like no time has passed since we last spoke!

Kelly Sas said...

I have 2 closest friends that have been in my life 36 years. One lives over 8 hours away and 7 years ago I moved from 7 hours away to 17 minutes away from my other best friend! Love the work by the two DT members today.

Gina said...

I really like the butterfly with the hat pins! How fun!

My best girl friend lives very far away but we have managed to keep in touch for the last 20 years writing to each other. Since there wasn't email when we first moved apart we sent mail the old fashioned way. We had great fun adding stickers and doodles to the envelopes. Now of course we keep up via email & facebook but we both still treasure the occasional hand written letter.

María Castillo said...

I love today´s projects!! I have a group of school friends yet and we meet at least once a year!

Heather Landry said...

One of my closest friends is my grandma. She taught me how to be sassy and crafty!

The projects you all shared this time around are gorgeous!!!

brenda said...

Love the beautiful projects you shared today! I have several close friends that are amazingly supportive through the good and the bad times but my closest friend is my hubby!

cutiephinphin said...

My closest friend is my hubby. There's nothing that I can't share with him. Next to him would be a group of guy friends I have since high school.

Jessrose21 said...

My two closest friends have stuck with me through the restrictions and difficulties of my long-term illness. We can go for weeks without talking on the phone, but whenever we talk, we can just pick up where we left off. I would say that I admire them most for their selflessness and generous spirits.

Melanie said...

I'm excited to have girls night tomorrow with my friends. We going out to see Harry Potter in 3D after our kiddos are asleep :)

Lisa C. said...

I have a great group of ladies that we call the "lunch bunch". We have so much fun getting together every month. At least half of us are scrappers!

em said...

Great projects! My closest friend I met on the internet through scrapbooking. We met in real life and hit it off. It's a little embarrassing to admit sometimes... ;)

beadz said...

My closest friend is my sister - I am so lucky because she now lives right beside me! And it doesn't hurt that she is as crazy about scrapping as I am!
hugs,
Gini

OOPS! I totally did not intend to delete! LOL....

I LOVE the projects and the inspiration that is always here at Pebbles!
I know this is cheesy...but my Mom is my Best Friend. I do have lots of close friends, but she is the one that is ALWAYS there when I need her. She is my baby sitter, my errand runner, my chit-chatter, my laugh when I need it, my shoulder to cry on and the first person I call when something fantastic happens. She is my Mom, but even more than that, she is my friend. I love that. I love her.

~amy~ said...

lovely projects ladies!!! Anna mentions the word connection, isn't that fabulous at even a young age, these 2 girls have a connection...I believe that we women can always connect with other women...it's something we can just do, like multi-tasking:) I'm so fortunate that I have different connections with my closest friends...we all have each other's backs...and support one another.

Hodge said...

My two closest friends and I just graduated high school together this past June, and it was super sad since this coming up school year will be the first time we're apart for 13 years.

Jill W. said...

My dearest friend and I met while we were lab partners in biology in our first year of college (28 years ago...oh my!) No one can make me laugh so hard that my belly aches. We don't get to see eachother too often, but it is "good stuff" when we can!

Vik said...

My best friend are my 3 sisters! We have so much fun together and I know that no matter what they will always LOVE me!!!

Carol said...
