i believe in evolution and a reason to smile.....

...not the kind where God didn't create the heavens and the earth, but card evolution.....

Yesterday Debbie H came over and worked on the swaps she is taking to convention.  I had 40 to send with her, thanks to Mom....

After she left Barbara P came over and we worked on card class for next week...after 86ing my idea (in case you don't know what 86ing is, it means cancelling or nixing, a term from my restaurant years...i digress) for the swing card, she suggested we make a triple layer card....

like this one..

or this one....perfectly satisfied with this for class until.....

Since the this stamp set is on SALE this month for only $5.00 with a $50 purchase called A Reason To Smile...we decide to make a few more cards to showcase how versatile this set is ......well we, mostly Barb came up with this card....

this is the card that "evolved" though a series of trail and era as most cards do.....

I fought it, I really did, said repeatedly to Barbara, We are not going to make this card...I kept trying not to look at it, but in the end it won out...It is so pretty in real life.......

Yes we did to a couple more, but this is our favorite and a real Reason to Smile.....

We will be doing this card next week in class...hope to see you there....

Live in the sunshine and smile....
