Happiness

It's a triple challenge treat! For one of the Verve challenges this month we were to use 3 colors of card stock (white doesn't count), 3 types of embellishments and 3 different stamp sets! I had a great time with this challenge! For my card stock colors I chose purely pomegranate, kraft and chocolate chip. My embellishments are the wire on the butterfly, the rhinestone jewels, the ribbon and my dry embossing. My 3 different stamps sets are all by Verve. I used Because of You (the flowers in the oval), Petals and Stems (the polka dotted butterfly) and Fairy Tales (the sentiment). The patterned paper is by my beloved K & Co.

In a book I just finished reading, the main character decides to "choose happiness". Sometimes that is so hard to do, especially in our modern society! It seems like there's always something more that we want and we're not always thankful for the things that we do have. I am going to try really hard to always choose happiness (even when my children are driving me crazy on summer vacation!). This card will be a great reminder sitting on my desk.

My husband and my middle son are off to cub scout camp for the weekend. I plan on getting to know my SU! catalog really well while they are gone!

Thanks for stopping by!
