And here is a glimpse of the goodies for the winner!

Here is what she has to say...


" My name is Gopi Patel, and I was born and raised in New Jersey, USA. I've always loved anything and everything crafty…especially paper crafts! I started out with scrapbooking about six years ago, and I joined the stamping and card making world just last year. I love to blog and be able to share my passion of paper crafts, which includes: scrapbooking, card-making, rubber stamping, and other crafty projects, techniques, and ideas. Blog surfing and logging into the ICR both allow me to find new creations and inspirations on a daily basis...it's wonderful!

I am blessed with a wonderful familly and friends, an amazingly talented boyfriend of 10 years (we'll be engaged in 2 months!), and a gorgeous Shetland Sheepdog named Khushi. They are all pros with dealing with my crafty cravings :) I work full time in OIT, I'm a part time dance teacher (Bollywood/Semi-Classical), and I'm also a Demonstrator for Stampin' Up. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me! Feel free to ask me questions, and your comments are always welcomed!

Thanks! "


And below are the inspirations from the DT.... on ICR!





Sudha has done dry embossing here...... and the sentiment is so apt with the friendshop day around... I love that amazing inspiration from her! It is exciting to see what she inspires us with!

And this is from me... :p Was feeling terribly ill during the course of this card..... Pain & exhaustion killed me... Yet managed to put something together as an inspiration..... 


I have dry embossed on vellum & ran some bic markers on the emboss a lil, as I did not wanna deviate from the simplicity of the card....

   

That's from Mona..She has done a fab job with so many different fonts in one sentiment... That's an amazing one Mona.. Thank You!!!

That's the FUN filled inspiration from dear Bhavana....... I LOVE the Sentiment, and she has used embossed patter papers... which flaunts the playful mood & influences us with it too....

  

And here is the inspiration from Priya...... She has used 2 different embossed papers and combined different stickers to make a single sentiment with 3 different fonts.... Used puffy heart stickers to add cherry on the top.. ;)

Now ICR is excited to check on our crafters as to what techniques & what fonts you guys would play with, this FRIENDSHIP DAY!!!
