Happy Hello! I hope you're finding time this weekend to do something that makes you *smile*! For me, that means spending time in my craft room! :)
I've been seeing several cards lately with these sweet little paper lace doilies so I picked up a couple packages and gave it a whirl. What do you think? Aren't they pretty? I did use a few of them on Valentine's, but I think they can work for any occasion too.
This card is a 5-1/4" square of Pear Pizzazz with a piece of pink and green plaid cardstock from my stash. (DaisyD's - Birthday Plaid) I zig zag stitched around the plaid paper, attached the doily & ribbon and layered the plaid onto the cardstock base. The cute little felt flowers are from Stampin' Up! and I'll admit that I've been hoarding them. Why? Because I ♥ them! ;)

The inside is finished off with a stip of the plaid paper. And because I've been such a slacker at posting to my blog lately, I'm going to surprise you with TWO cards in one day! Can you believe it? ;)  This card is a standard 4-1/4 x 5-1/2", so I put the doilie right smack in the center as the focal point. The Sending Happy Thoughts stamp is from Stampabiities. Once again, the pretty floral paper is from my never-ending stash I've been trying to use ...instead of buy, buy, buy! That's difficult to do since I always want the latest and greatest. Do you hear me? I thought you would. ;)   |
Sending Happy Thoughts your Way! : )

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. ~ Frederick Keonig
