Happiness is....

... being loved by you!

Good morning!

Due to the ice this morning we have a small delay to the start of school today, so I thought I'd quickly pop in on my blog and share this pocket card I made with The Craft's Meow Happiness Is... stamp set and Crate Paper's Portrait 12x12 paper and sticker collection.  Lots of layers on the card itself as well as the paper pieced rose.  Here's a view of the insert pulled out of the front pocket - perfect for a little love note or a photo, don't you think?

Card Details

Stamps: Happiness Is.. (TCM)

Ink: Versafine black

Card stock: Crate Paper Portrait collection (12x12); Bazill solid

Other: Copic marker: W2, W4; Sewing machine; Crate Paper Portrait Stickers and button collection

Here's close up of the rose - I paper pieced it with 3 layers, highlighting the rose with a W2 and W4 Copic marker.  The leaf was highlighted with a YG67 marker, I believe....

... and here's the inside view - stamping with my favorite Tsukeniko Versafine black ink pad for a vibrant black image and sentiment...

Before I go - please check out the great deals Lisa is having on her Grab Boxes. 

Here's Lisa's description of what's included in each box:

This is similar to a warehouse clearance sale! The Craft's Meow is no longer selling non-stamp products. Everything that remained after the end of last year has been distributed into Priority Mail boxes along with some additional goodies that never appeared in the store. The boxes vary in content... I'm picturing the contents of two different boxes just for an idea of what you might receive. The value of the contents is far below regular retail price.

The boxes contain products from My Mind's Eye, Echo Park, Pink Paislee, Graphic 45, Crate Paper, Maya Road, LaBlanche, and Bazzil, plus ribbon, flowers and buttons. A few even have additional surprises tucked inside. Note: not all boxes will have something from each of these companies/categories. If you purchase more than one box, I'll make sure you get boxes that are as different from each other as possible.

Please note that the free (or reduced) shipping for orders of $65 or more does not apply for the grab boxes. 

Get 'em while they're hot! Once sold out, they are gone forever!!!

Have a wonderful Monday!
