My kind of Friday - Unity FWF!

Happy Friday! As you read this, I'm probably either still in bed or lounging on the couch in my PJs....ahhhh.....to have a Friday off work. My company is taking a holiday today in celebration/relief that another April 15th (U.S. tax day) is behind us. Not that things at the office will slow down at all...which is fine by me! Busy = Job = Paycheck = Stamps ;) I have seriously missed spending my Fridays with all the fun & fab Unity lovers, and couldn't think of anything better than enjoying my day off with Friends With Flair!

Today's card is doing double-duty as a much belated b-day card to a very dear friend, and since she is a sweetie & a half, I couldn't resist inking up the giant cupcake!

Can't wait to get hopping and see what everyone has in store today. The complete list of participants, click your way to the Unity Blog.

Speaking of friends with FLAIR, check out the lovely & talented ANDREA aka Scrapamum. She is an absolutely AMAZING Scrapbook Artist - my Scrapping IDOL, in fact - and if she reaches 20 followers by April 20th, she will have some Scrap-Tastic BLOG CANDY to give away! National Scrapbooking Day is May 1st. So please pay Andrea a visit, get inspired and get your scrap on! :D

TGIF Hugs,
