He's just a friend Mom!

Ok, my 10 year old daughter has a twin, ok not really but it sure seems like it. They do everything together. Ride bikes, walk to the bus, run around the neighborhood, EVERYTHING! His name is Chase and he is 10 too. We tease her about her "boyfriend" which always brings cries of "He's just my friend, Mom!" Well, being as we are both military families, it was bound to happen. Chase will be moving in just a couple of weeks. Katie is heart broken. She was so upset the other day that I thought it might do her some good to make him a card. (I'm also planning on framing a picture of the two of them as a goodbye present). Anyway, after much discussion of what was too Mushy, we came up with this card. I think it is pretty good. We did have a hard time with the embossing powder on the embossed paper, but Katie said it worked. She said it looked like we spray painted it. What do you think? Is this too Mushy?

  2. My daughters husband is in the Military her. They are being posted back here to Manitoba. I am sure my granddaughter will be having the same feelings once it sinks in she is leaving her friends. I am sure Chase will love the card and the picture. What a good idea. I will pass that idea on to my daughter.

  4. I don't think it's too mushy at all! Tell Katie I am so sorry that her "bestest friend" is moving. Remind her that just because he's moving doesn't mean they can't still be friends!

  5. The card is perfect. It's nice that she made a good friend. I bet the frame looks great, you'll have to share when you're done.
