The Best Ship is Friendship

I'm here today to share a little project I made for Sherri Baldy using Image 389 at Scrapbook Stamp Society. Isn't she the cutest My Bestie ever!?! Makes me want to move back to Austin so I can go sailing on Lake Travis! Brought back some wonderful memories of a man I use to date who owned a sailboat. For the life of me... I've been trying to remember his name and face... I can see the boat clearly in my mind... but not him... I suppose he made a great impression on me... explains why I'm here and he's there. Ha! Anyway, I saw this image and just fell in love with her. I knew immediately what sentiment and paper I wanted to use as well. Don’t you just love it when things fall into place like that?

Here is my project:

It's a side easel card (my favorite) and here it is open with a view from the front:

I've popped the image up off the card with pop dots. Here's a looksie:
