Today I am sharing my swap card for Leadership.  I wanted a "happy card" so I first chose the stamp set to fit my theme.  Starburst Sayings & Framelits Bundle were the perfect choice..  I love the sentiment "you make the world a better place".  The bundle has both the stamp set and the framelits to cut out the stamped images. The best part is that the bundles are 15% off!  

Of course, I wanted a color palette to match the "happy" theme.  The Occassions Mini has a delicious new paper Stack called Fresh Prints.  Exactly what I needed.  With a color combo of Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Crumb Cake, it definitely says happy!

The layout for my card is from a Mojo Monday Sketch.  Because one of my paper choices had dots, I decided to enhance that with the new Decorative Dots Embossing Folder from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog – you can earn it free with a $50 purchase from January 28 – March 31.

Look closely and you will spy another new Embossing Folder. It was used on the Crumb Cake cardstock.  It is the Arrows Textured Impressins Embossing Folder which can be found on page 26 of the new Occassions Mini Catalog.  

The Mojo Monday Sketch showed some banners so I complied with banners created from my Fresh Prints Paper Stack. They were nice but I felt that they needed something else.  So, I stamped a sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp set on the bottom banner.  The Small heart Punch came to my rescue for the top banner.  Add a few Pearls and a strip of  1/8" Real Red Taffeta Ribbon and my card was finished.

It always makes me nervous to join card swaps.  I hope they like my creation!  What do you think – will it be okay?
