This card is for the 52-Card Pick-up Challenge where the theme this week is Genuine Smiles … and for Simon Says Stamp & Show, where the challenge is to create whatever makes you happy.
I recently had to get a new driver's license, and the new requirement in Iowa is that you have to keep your mouth closed and not smile for your photo. The experience reminded me that smiling is how I feel most comfortable … and that not smiling seems completely unnatural (and apparently that's not just me, because the guy in front of me had to get his picture taken 4 times before he could remember not to smile).
I chose this fun Inkadinkado sentiment and paired it with Sassafras Monstrosity Collection paper & Silly Monster Felties … seriously, how can you not smile when you look at those Monsters?? I particularly love the blue one at the bottom right with the big mouth-open-teeth-showing grin … yeah, that's pretty much me.
The sketch is this week's Get Sketchy!
Come on … Smile!
A definite darling smiling creation!
