Susan, this was a layout that really made me smile. I love the happy pic of the two of you and the story of making a real life friend of an online friend. All the quotes are great and so cute here. I especially liked this one: The only normal people are the ones you don’t know very well. Ha!! Fun design, esp the terrific doodling.
This is so fantastic and creative! Like how you used the different quotes, and how neat is it to be able to meet someone from here in real life!!!!!! :>D
What worries me is whose bodies you might be moving with her!!! Great lo and great fun - its amazing what fabulous friends there are on this site! And I love love love that blue doodled border!
I think this is my favorite quote: "A friend is someone who will bail you out of jail . A Best Friend is the one sitting next to you saying, “Boy that was FUN!” That's soooo us! I agree with some of the other comments - at first glance this does look like a web page - pretty cool considering we met online. Fabulous page - and I love that we don't have double chins - now if we could only do something about that lazy eye.
This is fantastic, Susan! I love how you used all the quotes and the colors are perfect. Still jealous I can't meet up with you two...but someday, I just know it. :)
Susan I just love this..it is so innovative, creative and fun!! I love all the quotes and if you look quickly..it almost looks like a web page!!! Super lo!!!
Fabulous! Loved reading all those different quotes! Great work on all that doodling- so time-consuming but definitely worth it! Love how you added a little pop of yellow with the brads! So cute!
Photo of me and Julie (retrojulie) when she came to visit me in May. This was our...sit by the pool...look up at Butch while he takes the pic...bye-bye double chins...look! LOL I couldn't decide WHAT to do with this layout...wanted simple, cute, and fun. This is how that worked out!! LOL! I gather numerous "friend" quotes printed them on white cardstock, and added the blue text boxes inside some of the sentences. I staggered them around the layout...added TONS of doodling - border, around each quote, on the title letters, around the names and date and around the arrow. I added a few large brads and added four yellow brads for a little sunshiny color. The arrow was hand drawn just so that I could have it coming from that one quote and point at Julie. (It happens to be the first quote listed below) If you're interested...here's the quotes:
- Friends help you move. Real Friends help you move bodies. ~Anonymous - Enjoy the flavor of Life. Take BIG bites ~ Robert Heinlein - Life is a journey, not a guided tour. ~Anonymous - There is no possession more valuable than a good and Faithful Friend. ~ Socrates - A Friend is like a good bra, close to your heart, hard to find, and supportive. ~Anonymous - The only normal people are the ones you don’t know very well. ~ Joe Ancis - Pretending to be a normal person day after day is exhausting! ~ unknown - Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo, what you need is someone who will ride the bus with you when the limo breaks down. ~ Oprah Winfrey - A friend is someone who knows all about you and still likes you. .~ Elbert Hubbard - True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice. ~Ben Jonson - I get by with a little help from my friends. ~ John Lennon - A friend is someone who will bail you out of jail . A Best Friend is the one sitting next to you saying, “Boy that was FUN!” ~ Jack Miller - A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you’ve forgotten the words. ~ Anonymous
Journaling is tucked behind the photo and reads:
Julie is an online friend that I met (in real life) in 2008. When we met for the first time, it was like we’d always known each other. Since then we’ve spent time together at a weekend crop, chatted via email and on the phone, and Julie came for a visit Memorial Day weekend (2009). We shopped, talked, ate out, talked, shopped, scrapped, AND had a little mini photo shoot. It was a busy and fun weekend.
