Gift for a Friend

Well, as is the "norm" in the military, I said goodbye today to a really good friend. I wanted to give her something nice in addition to this "friend" card, so I got an address book at Wal-Mart and destroyed the cover by ripping the paper off of it on the front/back and insides so that I could re-cover it with my own. I hope she enjoys it. The first picture is of the book head-on with the pen, and the second is just of the book at an angle (I like this picture better but wanted you to see the little pen too). I had the ladies that went to her farewell lunch all fill in their info with the beaded pen I made to match. I will miss Lindsey and hope to see her again. I used the Au Chocolat paper from the Spring Mini, along with the tried and true stamp set Heartfelt Thanks. The colors I used were Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, and Very Vanilla. On the flower, it's Always Artichoke for the stem (I meant to use Old Olive - oops!). The background stamps used were Linen, Print Pattern and French Script. The brown ribbon is some that I have left from the Flirty ribbon that was in the Winter Mini (Flirty was that what it was called, right?) . For the her name, I used the Classic Alphabet stamp set, and for "friends" I used last year's Sell-A-Bration set called Noteworthy. It has a stamp that says "friend" and I added an "s." On the pen there is Vanilla, Chocolate, and brown polka-dot ribbon tied on the pen cap. Let me know what you think! Until Monday, enjoy!

PS - Does anyone see what I goofed on the book? I don't think Lindsey did. :)
