happiness today

Starting off a crazy week for me. It is dress rehearsal/ performance week for the Hutch Middle School musical that I am co-directing: James and the Giant Peach, Jr. My eyes are on next Monday, when it is all over and I crash. Hoping to get more time in my studio next week.

In the mean time here is a card I created to send to another Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Last November at Stampin’ Up! On Stage in Las Vegas, one round of the Prize Patrol recipients were given two stamp sets witht he stipulation that they must give one of the sets away to another Demonstrator. One very sweet demo chose to share her prize with me, and gave me the beautiful Breathtaking Bouquet background stamp. I said I would make her a card with it in return. Here is the card I made:

The card base is Sahara Sand with a layer of vellum that is cut with one of the scalloped rectangles in the Stitched So Sweetly die set and embossed with the Subtle emboss folder. The sentiment, from So Sentimental, is heat embossed in white on Gray Granite card stock. The flowers and leaves are from the Cherry Blossom dies in Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose and Pear Pizzazz. The Polka Dot ribbon is a great addition to accent the softness of the card. This sentiment is so versatile and would work for numerous occasions.

Thanks for stopping by! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
