a friendly gift

I just love this Gillian F. Roberts image from Stampavie called Bear and Robin!  What a sweet scene!  And I thought this sentiment would be perfect to go with it.  I can think of many friends that I am thankful for! 

Once again, I pulled out my Basic Grey Figgy Pudding paper.  It goes so well with so many different images and I liked it with this one too!  The bird was left “out-of-the-box” when I cut the main image out with the Labels 4 Nestabilities die.  You can see my tutorial on how to do that here.  It really is very easy and it was just what I needed to cut the bear out without having a lot of extra white space around my image. 

Thanksgiving is still a week away here in the US but the stores are already stocking their shelves with Christmas goodies.  I am slowly getting in the holiday spirit…I love this time of year!  :0)  Well, except for the cold weather…LOL. 

Have a wonderful day!
