The Petal Promenade DSP has beautiful flower images, and I wanted to showcase them as much as possible on my card today. I decided to make them the main event and not cover them up too much. I choose the Happy Birthday Thinlits to help me do that.

You may recall me mentioning that I needed more baby cards in my stash. You can see the post about that [here]. Today I have another baby card, this time using the adorable Kangaroo and Koala baby from the Animal Expedition Suite. I love these guys and they are so cute for a baby card.

The people on our lake have a real sense of community, and we share a lot of social activities. It is rather wonderful and unique. We are getting together to celebrate another birthday, so that calls for a custome hand made card!
This time the recipient is a handyman type of guy, always working on some project, so a 'wood theme' seemed like the only way to go.
I recently started selling my cards, and had a customer looking for baby cards. I need to add some to my stash so here is the first one I made.

I love the Stampin' Up! colour pallette. With the recent revamp of our colours, I have trouble deciding which colours to use!! There are so many great colours, and thousands of amazing colour combinations, sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Today I used some of my returning favourites.

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. There are lots of ways to get to a smile that are not hard to do, and thinking of someone we love is an easy one. As you think of that person, and how much you love or appreciate them, you start to smile from inside. My card today celebrates the people that bring us that joy and make our lives better.

Live with Passion is such a good motto to live by. For anyone that knows me, you know that I can get very passionate about things I believe in. I try to live each day to the fullest, loving life and all it has to offer. Of course I'm human and have bad days, but I try to focus on the positive, and live my life with gratitude. It is just as easy to find the good things in life as the not so good, the choice is up to each of us.

My Mom loved Delft Blue, and I do too. She had a stunning Delft Blue plate collection that covered an entire wall in her kitchen. The new In Colour Blueberry Bushel is very much like the colour of those plates, and my card today looks like a Delft Blue tile to me.

If you have followed my blog for a while you know I love all the nature related stamps, paper and framelits we have at Stampin' Up! I find nature to be very calming, especially when we take time to slow down in our hectic lives and really see and appreciate the beauty around us. When I look at the card I made for today, I feel a sense of calm and tranquility and it always makes me happy.

Yesterday we celebrated my daughter's birthday, so now I can post this super fast and easy upcycle project for you. My daughter loves everything from Bath and Body Works, and I must admit that I really like them too. In addition to their wonderful products, they have super cute bags with a blue check pattern. The bags also include a great big logo, so they are not perfect to use as a gift bag as is, but that is easy to fix.

When you really want to thank someone, just reach for the Animal Outing stamp set, and you can thank them BIG TIME!!!
