It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This was a really fun sketch to use this week! I know I’ll be using it again…sooner rather than later!

HAPPINESS ABOUNDS
Here’s another bundle that demos could preorder this month…but in just a few days EVERYONE can order everything from the new catalog! I can’t wait…what about you?

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 2-3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of floral from Hue of Happiness Designer Paper was cut and added to the left side.
- A 1-1/8 x 5-1/4 piece of the reverse striped print in Hue of Happiness DSP was cut and added to the right side, leaving a small gap between.
