We have been loving this celebration of Friendship, loving all of our favorite friends (that's YOU!) and loving the inspiring projects we get to share all week long on our blog!
Today, we have TWO awesome Best Friends layouts that are sure to brighten your day (along with some great get-to-know-you questions with Stacey & Jaime!)
First, take a peek at this adorable layout by Designer Stacey Michaud:
Is anyone else loving these talk bubbles? We're also huge fans of the way Stacey used this collection for a boy layout {it totally works!}
We asked Stacey FIVE Friendship questions...and here's what she had to say:
Do you make friends easily or is it more difficult for you?
STACEY: It's
interesting...the friends I have made in my life have all been "fast friends" or
"soul sisters". Women and men who have come into my life at a certain time or
because of a specific situation where bonding occurs quickly. Maybe I don't let
everyone in easily so when I do open myself up, it is fast and
furious.
What are the most important traits a friend should have?
STACEY: I believe a friend should be non-judgmental. They should love you for
all your good qualities and in spite of your flaws. A friend is loyal and
honest.
What is the most challenging thing about friendship as an
adult?
STACEY: My biggest challenge is finding time to foster my friendships. Families, errands, work and a host of other responsibilities affect the amount
of time in a day. Social media is helping, but I also want that face to face
interaction that is hard to schedule.
What is something you want your
friends to know but maybe haven't told them?
STACEY; I don't think I tell my
friends enough how appreciative I am. Maybe I take it for granted sometimes,
but I really do cherish my friends. Each one has made me the woman I am and are
helping me to grow into the woman I want to be.
Do you have a favorite quote about friendship?
STACEY: I love the quote "Friends come into your life for a season, for a reason or for life." I have found that sentiment to be true. I can fondly recall many friendships that have ended for whatever reason. This quote reminds me that its okay because friendship serves many purposes.
Next, Designer Jaime Warren went to town with Best Friends incorporating the tried and true Clean and Simple style that we love so much. Look at her beauty of a layout:
We also gave Jaime our 5 Question Friendship Quiz and here's what she had to say:
Do you make friends easily?
JAIME: It has always been difficult for me. I'm an introvert and I have a hard time putting myself out there. It takes a while to truly get to know me...and that can put people off.
We hope you're loving this Celebration of Friendship as much as we are! Don't forget if you purchase Best Friends during the month of October, you're automatically entered to win a fabulous handmade prize from one of our talented designers...
It'll make your box even swoonier.
