Happiness Abounds 

Today I have used the awesome designer series paper, Hues of Happiness, and the coordinating stamp set, Happiness Abounds, to make this card to share with you.

I have had the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch since it was first released and I think this is the first time I have ever used it.  It works great for this layout.  Although you can barely see it, I have embossed the Gorgeous Grape layer with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder to add a little dimension.  The Glittered Organdy Ribbon adds just the right amount of bling!

Yesterday was a special day.  Even though it was just a formality the court proceedings were pretty exciting.

Of course, we had to stop for pictures before entering the courthouse.  

The kids were great during the whole thing and quite excited when their formal names were read.  They each got to pick out a stuffed animal from a box to remember this exciting day.  The choices were a bear, a skunk, a puppy, and a purple hippopotamus.  We celebrated with lunch afterward and then Johan and Hanna took me on a tour of their school and Johan introduced me to all of his favorite people there.  I love these words from Hanna's Facebook post  . . . " In the words of Adrian, “We went to the castle and got aBopted!”.    A special day, indeed!

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!! 

 

Happy Stamping!!
