Dedicated to the One I Love, Part 2

There are some things worth dedicating your best efforts toward. I believe the most important of these is relationships. Friends may walk into your life unexpectedly and with ease, but it takes hard work, flexibility and time to keep a friend from walking out of your life. I have a few very good friends who could have been lost through the years, with only memories of good times shared left to me.  Instead, they are people I can still laugh with, love and trust with my deepest secrets and fears. And our relationships have taken dedication on all our parts to keep them strong.
Dedication is the theme at the Path of Positivity challenge blog this month, and my DT project is a card dedicated to my very best of friends, because while good friends know all your stories, best friends help you write them.
My card is a mix of digital and paper crafts. The image I used is from Sparkle N Sprinkle, this month's guest sponsor. The image is called Beachy Friends, and I thought it was perfect to showcase how friendships can last a lifetime when you dedicate yourself to its success.
Elements used:
Background: vacation photo from Spring break
Frame: Christmas Grunge collection, Royal Blue textured cardstock, Decosse's Dynamite Doodles
Image: Beachy Friends, Sparkle N Sprinkle, colored with Copics and fussy-cut
Embellishments: Ship, Crab, Summertime collection (freebie), Rucola Designs; Ribbon 2, Because of You collection, MMullens
