Go to Your Happy Place

Published on May 24, 2012, by

Hi Everyone! I wanted to play along in the current Paper Smooches because the colors are so fun and make me think of summer. I’m in team 2 so I’ll be linking this up to the challenge gallery. There’s still plenty of time if you want to play along too. You have until Sunday, May 27th at 11:59pm EST.

I used the Get Outta Town stamp set for the sentiment, the cute little gold-fish is from the Surf and Turf set and the thought bubble is from the He Said, She Said set by Paper Smooches. I created the negative fish bowl shape in my Silhouette Studio software. I attached a light blue piece of vellum underneath the bowl to make it appear as though there is water in the fish bowl. Even though this poor little gold-fish can’t take a vacation on dry land, he can sure DREAM about it—right? Where would your ideal HAPPY PLACE be? I have 2 other cards based on this design in the works. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll find the time to finish them this weekend.

I created this card with the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Challenge in mind. The theme is Encouragement, so I’ll be popping this one into the Flickr pool today.
