Happy Moments

Good morning, how are you?  I've been playing with the Happy Moments set again ... this time inspired by the lovely Co-Founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! who has been stamping onto pattern paper - you can see her cards here - they really are lovely.  

I thought that this was such a cool idea and not something I had tried before so I put ink to rubber to paper and I like it.  

When I took part in the Sale-A-Bration mini hop I found this lovely card with the birdie in the cage inked in a different colour, created by Amy Waters ... I loved it and just had to give that idea a go too.

Of course once I get started ... I can't stop trying new things so then I created the little 'suspended' sentiment (there has to be a better to describe that but for now my mind is blank!)  ... that was so easy too.

I should have taken a photo of the inside to show you how I have finished off the ribbon - I don't like there to be 'loose ends' so I punched the chocolate chip oval piece twice and sandwiched the ribbon between it.  So the ribbon is stuck down on the front of the card with snail ... wrapped around the back and snailed again to finish up in between the two oval punched shapes.  Now if this makes no sense whatsoever (well it is past my bedtime) - leave me a comment and I'll photograph the back of the card in the daylight :o)
