Embrace Happiness


As promised, here is a second card using the stamped patterned paper I created with the Guide Lines 2 stamp set. (Enjoy the Moment card here.)  This card definitely has a different feel just from changing out the color of the background cardstock.  I also did a little doodle (with my ruler, of course! *wink*) around the edges to break up the white space.

Oh, and I just found out this morning my Enjoy the Moment card won in the Paper Crafts Stamp it! Week Challenge over on the Moxie Fab blog in the stamped patterned paper category!  Super excited about that!  Congrats to all the other winners, too!  Fabulous cards!  You can see half of the winners on the Moxie Fab blog and half on the Paper Crafts blog.

Have a great day!

Niki
