"This Makes Me Happy"

Good morning all.

We had a beautiful sunny springlike day yesterday, it was lovely to have all the windows open without needing the winter woollies on!

A very quick card to share today. The ladies at LIM set a theme of "This Makes Me Happy" this week and I had pondered how best to portray something on a card.

Yesterday my car and house keys went missing and I had a hissy fit with younger son who I believed had had them last, only to finally remember I'd popped them in my handbag on Tuesday before we went shopping....I owed him a big apology so I made him a card.


Using a little stamp from a set called Year Round Cheer from Close to my Heart...this is the February stamp. I've had these stamps for a couple of years or more, having won them either in a blog candy/challenge and only lately used them for the first time! I've added Crackle accent to the heart, only because my Glossy accent is missing! Added some twine and a charm. Dies from Spellbinders.

So what makes me happy? Obviously my children (well mostly!), birds in the garden, the colour red, crafting and lastly harmony at home...which has now been restored!

Challenges entered:
Less is More - this makes me happy
Stamping Sensations - one for a guy
Addicted to Stamps - CAS
Crafter's Cafe - use a charm
Clear it Out - anything goes

    What a cute & clever apology card, and reminder to him that you do love him. Got a chuckle from your use of the term 'hissy fit'. Thought only us Southern USA folks knew what that meant. My Yankee friends never know what it really means, so I offer to demonstrate! Nothing like a good hissy fit to clear the air & get things straight! So glad you found the lost items, and how sweet of you to make a card like this! Bet he loved it too. TFS

    Fabulous card and lovely blog post too - I'm so pleased I don't have to make a card every time I mislay my keys - there's not enough hours in the day lol - my youngest son always just says - well you've never done that before! hugs Judith x

    A cute card Carol, love the little birdie. My hubby is the key culprit in this house, he's even gone to work with my keys!
    We bought a juicer at Christmas too in the hope of being healthier.

    Hugs Erika. x
