Rose Blossom "Choose Happy" Blog Hop

Welcome to the blog hop!  If this is not your starting place, you have seen spectacular work, I know.  Marge is one of the best!  If you are starting here, you will be seeing some spectacular work soon!  Just follow the link below. (sounds like the wizard of oz! ha ha).

I just have to say, I love the phrase "choose happy"!  It is absolutely true.  Happiness is something that is chosen.  Circumstances have nothing to do, with whether we are happy or not, it is our choice.
Having said that... While I was making this card, my husband came downstairs.  As he was, he was complaining a little.  Now, my husband is not someone, who complains.  As he was talking, he came over and stood right next to me.  He looked down, paused and I looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.  Then, with a smile he said, "huh, how appropriate is that right now?!"  I turned to look at the card, smiled and looked back up.  He turned to leave and as he did, he said, " I will just go ahead and do that!". :)

The power of words!

Wow, that was a tangent.  But, one worth sharing.

Here it is!  If you don't know me yet, my creations, are usually on the simple side!

I have not decided, if I am going to leave that frame blank or put a picture in it (of my son of course).

I just used White Daisy, Hollyhock and Glacier cardstock.  Black Archival ink for the frame, then colored with Tender Pink ShinHan Marker.  The borders and words, are Slate ink and the cute swirl line, is Hollyhock ink.  I added some Sparkles for a little fun!

Now you are off to Shelly's spectacular creation!  Thanks for stopping by!

A Snowhaven Happy Hello!

Here is a card that could be used for a guy or gal.  But, let's go with the guy!  I mean, if we are really honest with ourselves, there is way more stuff for gals then guys.  Which seems odd to me, because 1/2 the population is male!

Anyway, Black and Slate Stamp Pads with Metallic Bakers Twine.  A line of Silver Geometric Washi Tape on top of a piece of Snowhaven paper.

Have a fantastic day!

"Wild Wonders" - Baby Boy Spin Card

Hello!  So, my Brother and his wife had a baby boy in November (this is there 2nd boy).  This is the card I made for them.

I used the Spin Card from CTMH and the Wild Wonders stamp set!  Soooo cute!

The blue paper is Glacier.  I also used the Glacier Stamp Pad, to stamp "it's a boy" all over the front.

The monkey is stamped in Topiary.  I also, used the ShinHan Touch Twin marker Pastel Peach, for his face, belly & ears.

The Giraffe is stamped in Desert Sand.  I used the Pastel Green ShinHan Touch Twin marker for his spots and nose.

The Hippo is stamped in Slate.  Using the Pastel Peach alcohol marker around his eyes and Tender Pink on his nose, bum, feet and ears.

On the inside, I have a lion, stamped in Desert Sand.  Also, using the Pastel Green alcohol marker for his face.  The bird is stamped in Topiary and the Tender Pink ShinHan Touch Twin Alcohol Marker around his eye.

Other things used in the making of this card are...Artbooking Cricut Cartridge & 3D Foam Tape.

Well, this was a fun card to make.  I also made them baby announcements.  I will sharing that later.  Have a blessed day!

By the way, there will be a blog hop this Sunday at 7pm!  It will featuring different stamp sets for the "Deal of The Decade"!  Check it out!
