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. :)
