For Someone Special

Hello my friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Today’s card is a very special one. Kathya’s birthday was back in November 18th and I knew it was going to be difficult to create a card for her, not because she is a difficult person, but because I wanted to express everything I feel for her with a card. I wanted to be something special. She has been right next to me through so many great and no so great moments. She has laughed with me in my happiest moments and she has cried with me when I have been sad and confused. She always knows what to say or when I just need someone to listen. She makes me laugh really hard, we just have to be together, even on the phone, and it is like magic, we laugh! I love when she gets mad at me for no reason, because I know it is because she cares so much about me…  

What can you do for someone like that? What can you do for one of the most special persons in your life? I started thinking what to do and then, I saw a card Dena created for one of her friends, I used it as inspiration. Well, let me just tell you, I started the card about five times, different papers, different colors, different images…OMG, it was really difficult.

And here it is, for you my friend, my soul sister, I hope you had the most incredible birthday ever. Thanks for being my friend, for being part of my life, for always being there for me. I love you dearly!!
