Live laugh love - Be happy!

"Live laugh love - be happy" is the sentiment in this card I created for challenge 86 at Let's Scrap. The challenge was to use a transparency, paint on the back side, and print on the front. I can't print on my transparencies as the ones I have are for the wrong sort of printer and I haven't found the right ones since I moved, so I used rub-ons instead. 

I'm having fun making matching envelopes for my cards, and I think this will also help them sell better, so here is the envelope for this one. It is simple, but I like the finished touch it gives to the card/envelope set.

Rosie and me

You may be wondering who Rosie is.... well, she is DD's favourite doll in the world. She got a set of almost identical twin dolls for Christmas, but for some reason, she has taken to love only one of them (the other one always misbehaves and spends her days in time out!!!). Last week, she painted her face and wanted Rosie to have exactly the same look. I love this photo, and wanted to scrap it as soon as I took it, so I used it for Challenge 85 at Let's Scrap. For this challenge I used fabric, ribbon (well, not exactly ribbon, but I guess it counts) and metal. I made the pinwheel embellies and used both acrylic paint and ink in the background. 

And this is a close up of the pinwheels:

This was lots of fun, Kathy, so glad I could take part in this challenge!
