Smiley Sun


Can you relate?...You've got a To-Do list a mile long, stacked gifts piled up in the corner, waiting to be wrapped, a mess in your craft room that would make even a teenager jealous....and all that you want to do is create something that isn't on the To-Do List? Yep, that is me today.


I wanted to throw my hat into the awesome 2013 Winter CHA Contest hosted by Lawn Fawn. I chose to work with Sunny Skies, and each and every time I ink it up I love it even more. The above card is a version of this card:


I like them both, they both feature only cardstock, ink and Sunny Skies, but gosh, that cute little smiley face sun with the drawn cheeks does me in...

  18. I'm so with you on the 'should' thing, sometimes it's just so much more fun to something else... especially if it ends up with a happy card that looks just like this!
