Happy Birthday to my WOSFF, Laurie Willison!

This is definitely a day to celebrate!  And we're doing it in style, with a birthday blog hop :)

What is a WOSFF, you ask?  It stands for web-o-sphere friend forever, of course :)  In the short time that we've known each other, I have grown to love her as a TRUE friend.  She is THE sweetest person, with a big HEART, and one of the MOST genuine people I've ever met.  She's a bit of a country girl (yikes!) and one of the LEAST creepy people I know
(creepy in that Halloweenie-horror-movie-OMG-what-was-that kind of way)
Why do you talk to me, Laurie????  ;)

Our papercrafting styles are very different.  Every time I try the clean-and-simple look, it just doesn't work... Laurie has it down to a "t"!!  CAS, yet detailed all at the same time... me so jealous   >:)

So even though I don't pull it off as well as you, I decided to give the CAS another try... just for you :)

Barb, I'd say you nailed CAS on the head!! I LOVE, LOVE that ribbon, how pretty is that! I love the soft colors and the image stamped on the frame (and the 3 pearls in the top are PERFECT for a card for Laurie!!). Very pretty!

Your WOSFF must have been sending vibes your way because you rocked this CAS design. The subtle design in the label (mat?) is set off by the big bow. It's sweet of you to do this for Laurie.
