I have so many reasons to smile and here are just a few of the reasons I'm smiling today:
My Sweetie
My Kids
Reading my morning devotions
Sunshine (or the thought of those golden rays on this cloudy day)
Gardening
The sweet scent of lilacs...mmmmm....
The beautiful melodies of the birdies outside my window
Running
Papercrafting
Speaking of smiling, early this morning I was filled with joy as I created a sweet little card using CardPatterns Sketch 118. Here's the sketch:
I pulled out my PTI Garden Variety Stamps for this sketch!! I love those stamps!!! Ok, I know I say that about all PTI stamps, but these stamps have totally captured my heart. I think it's because I can make those sweet little pink flowers and the grassy stems!! I love them!

What a great card. I love how you curved that bottom layer. It took me a long time to figure out what you did. At first, I thought you somehow bent or curved the picket fence. Must need my coffee. Very cool look--a peaceful scene.

Just found your blog a few days ago and I really wanted to say how much I love your style. Thanks for inspiring me! This card is amazing [as usual]!
What a beautiful card! Absolutely gorgeous.
What a wonderful card. The fence is perfect in the background. love those stamps too.
Aaagh, the little bitty bird! The little bitty bird! Adding the little bitty bird to your tableau just *makes* your card, Kristii! Can you tell I love it? :-D. This card is just about perfect in all its homespun, country sweetness and excellent technical execution. Bravo!
Okay I love that you put a little bird sit on the watering can. This is the first card using this set that has me taking a second look at this set.
Love the details on your card Kristii, especially that cute little bird on the watering can. The pink floral paper looks so pretty as the curved base and the little yellow flower is so 'sunny'.
Beautiful card Kristii! I love how you balanced all those elements on the card. Thanks for the inspiration.
