PURE JOY!

I'm elated today! I woke up to an acceptance email from the AMAZING Susan Opel of Paper Crafts Magazine! Getting into Paper Crafts has been a goal of mine for a while now but I really committed to it this year. And to have accomplished my goal is just mind-blowing! Now, I have to set a new goal and I'm ok with that. :) This year in crafting so far has been my best yet and I'm overjoyed at it all!

So, in honor of my joy, I share with you a Pure Joy card today. :) I'm dabbling in a little vintage. What do you think? Paper Crafts seems to think I should be CAS. ;) Anyhow, the bird sticker is from K & Company, isn't it sweet? I also got some yummy Webster's Pages paper. We'll see what I can do with that. The burlap string is from May Arts. The lace is vintage, I got it at the Antiques by the Bay event in San Francisco, a few weeks ago. The flower stick pin is from the Dollar Tree. The button is Jenni Bowling and the felt leaves are from my Caffinated Cropper June kit.

Hope you all have a joyful day as well!
