A-Z Challenge the letter F this month

Here is a layout I did using  the letter F=  friends, flowers, flourishes and fun times for Scrapbookers Anonymous challenge this month.I just love this challenge I look forward to it every month- makes you go thru your stash and see what you have that starts with that letter. I went out with a few of my dearest friends whom I haven't seen for awhile and we got together for a nice dinner and one of the girls brought us all Bling Rings to celebrate us getting together and our friendship for over 30 years- we had a fabulous time and plan on getting together again- soon. So, I did a layout to remember this event and titled it- The Bling Ring Friends.

 The fancy lace flowers were cut individually and added rhinestones to the center, the flourishes I used Tulip Paint and hand drew them on and the rhinestone flourishes I bought, the rest of the title "friends" is in the lower right corner which is a metal  saying.

 I used my Gypsy and Expression to cut out the title with the Ashlyn's Alphabet cartridge from  a shiny silver and black cardstock and added silver Stickles to it for more bling. Used my new Martha Stewart butterfly punch and added 3 of them to the page with some glitter.

I pulled the colors out of the clothes we were all wearing from K&Company specialty papers I really like the color combo and it also has a floral pattern-so festive. Well can't wait till next month- for the letter G.
