I'm sure you have heard the line Fake It Until You Make It. It may sound silly, but it can really work. If you smile, even it you have to work at smiling, it does make you feel happier.

Read MoreRooted in Nature was one of the first new stamp sets I started working with, and I love, love, love it! I also love one of the In Colours from last year, Lemon Lime Twist. Since Rooted in Nature has a number of tree and leaf images, it seemed very natural to use Lemon Lime Twist for some leaves for this card.
Read MoreDo you have a supply of cards in your stash that have no greeting on the front? I like to keep some of these around for times when I need a card in a hurry.
