Live Your Life Happy

We've had a touch of Spring here and it made me want to create something bright and cheery.  I couldn't wait to pair this awesome Unity Stamp Co stamp with   a sentiment and paper from the DCWV Vintage Collector stack.  

I added some ruffled fabric trim, my signature buttons and a touch of something different, do you spy it?

So many fun ideas for this Andie Girl stamp, but I think this card will be a hit for Mother's Day.  Love getting a jump on holiday cards, you?
Supplies not listed above: Copic Markers: Hair (E13, E15, E23) Blouse (R20, RV25, R46) Skirt (Y32, E15) Pants (B00, BG15) Boots (R20, RV25, R46) Leaves (G20, YG25) Flowers (RV25, R20)

Dream!

Just sharing some cute little notebooks I altered for a customer the other day.

 I picked these notebooks up YEARS ago (polka dotted, of course) and have fancied them up in several ways.  See this post here.  I am down to the last few and thought I'd take a fresh approach.

For these designs, I used Pink Paislee's "Hey Kid" papers, embellished with Unity Stamp Co.'s "I Believe in Miracles", and accented with vinyl lettering.  The ribbon and tullle are a sweet way to use up those scraps you might have!

We are heavy into journaling at home, so I always enjoy whipping up some of these.  They make wonderful gifts for those hard-to-shop-for tweens.

Do you journal?

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
