"You've got a friend in me / You got troubles, / and I got them too / There isn't anything / I wouldn't do for you / We stick together, we can see it through / Cause you've got a friend in me / You've got a friend in me..." Exert from "You've Got a Friend in Me" by Randy Newman for the Toy Story movie
Same day (today). Same stamp set (In Bloom by PTI). Same challenge (Clean and Simple Stamping). Yes! It's a Carbon Copied Day with Piali from Touch of Creation. Did you know that her work is amazing?! Piali chose to work with the Clean and Simple Stamping Sketch and as a bonus, this week they are partnering with the ColorQ Challenge so I was able to choose the palette we got to work with, #89. Some nice, deep, beautiful rich tones. Feeling fallish, I guess.
Every time I pull out this set, I can't help but hum the Toy Story opening song in my head due to the single sentiment. Makes me happy. I used the In Bloom Impression plate on my orange panel and then chose to feature the sentiment with stamping. I highlighted the series of three leaves with a few buttons in the top left corner. Please stop by Piali's blog to see her take on these two challenges!

So simple, but so lovely. The embossing is just gorgeous (I can't believe I don't have this plate yet!), and the open leaves in the corner, stamped off the panel, are the perfect touch. Thanks, as always, for sharing your talent with us at the ColourQ!
