SeaShells Can Bring Happiness!


Hi friends & Happy Tuesday to you!  I have an extremely hectic week of work and appointments so I'm tight on time and free-moments LOL!  And I'm very upset and saddened by the incident at the Boston Marathon yesterday...its heartbreaking and sickening.  I don't care what anyone says...you don't get used to it...its shocking and upsetting EVERY TIME!  Seems the world is short on basic human kindness & decency these days...when violence is your answer to a problem, you need to check yourself and find another solution...period.  Just doesn't make sense to me and this coming from a gal who scoops up bugs from inside and puts them outside...so the thought of physically hurting another human being is foreign to me.  And the footage that they showed..made me physically sick..can't get it out of my head so I can only imagine how those that were there are faring.  So my heart and prayers and love go out to everyone that was affected...may time bring both peace and healing to them all and may God bring some peace & understanding to us all.

Seashells Bring Happiness!


Today I'm sharing a card just to make myself happy...happy image, happy colors and happy theme.  I think we all need an extra bright spot of happiness this week don't you?  The paper is by Teresa Collins "He Said, She Said" (10% off here)...love her new line of papers and these colors just SCREAM SUMMER ya know!  I used this super sweet Magnolia stamp "Tilda in Key Largo" (wish I was there) from Magnolia-licious...she's from the 2012 Summer Memories Collection.

**Make sure and check out the NEW Once Upon a Time Collection of stamps and dies and Minis...they are so adorable!**



So what did I do to this card LOL:  I added some real seashells to the top right corner with Scor-Tape.  I distressed all my papers with Zutter Distress machine and all the papers and paper elements with PTI 'fresh snow' ink to soften it a bit.  The BEACHY sentiment and sea shells were done on my Silhouette Cameo.  I added Stickles to the BEACHY for sparkle.  The swirlies were done with a Memory Box die, the yellow is a die from Scrap Happy in Ohio called "Sweet Addie Doily" and I love it!.

I'm entering her into the following challenges:



This image was colored with TouchTwins...that I love to use...amazingly easy to use and work with your other alcohol markers too!  Stickles were added to the water, around background and the yellow stripes of her dress.  Diamond Glaze on the shell!

I wish you all a happy & peaceful week!
