Joyful Snowman (TAWS & Simon Says...)

I was feeling a bit guilty that my last card ended straying a bit more than I had intended from the challenges I was using, so I made another one.  First, this one is a much more literal interpretation of the stacked polka dot teacups in the TAWS Be Inspired photo.  Second, though I still used patterned paper, I think this one captures more of a CAS feel for the Simon Says Keep It Clean and Simple challenge.  And since the season of gratitude is upon us I thought I would mention that as I was finishing up this card I was super thankful for speech bubbles.  Sentiment placement is often a struggle for me, and I've decided that speech bubbles are a new best friend.  They're incredibly helpful in taking out the guesswork of where words should go.  Oh, and I had to include one last picture.  It's admittedly grainy, but it captured the sparkly happiness on this card.  And that makes me smile. :)

Stamps: Chill Out, Toy Land (TAWS)
Ink: Dark Chocolate (PTI), Champagne (VersaMark)
Paper: Lost & Found Two, Merry (MME); pink, white (Michaels)
