Happiness......

Fun card I created for my daughter, from a poem she had.. I stamped the sunflowers( hero arts) on the white card stock using chestnut roan and min box yellow. Then I ran the paper though the printer to add the poem. the sunflower is from Sizzix (daisy die). cut two of the large flower attached them together. Edged the tips with chestnut. I then sprayed the flower with Tatter Angels-Tuscan Sun. Rapped the brown ribbon around the white card ,adhered the sunflower to the top of the ribbon. Using a pop dot in the middle of the flower, adhere the 1/2 circle punch of brown to the middle of flower. on top of the center of the flower add cloud nine rain drops.
here is a copy of the poem
Happiness
Happiness is something you create in your mind,
Not something you search for but can’t seem to find.
Not something that’s purchased with silver and gold,
Not something that force can capture and hold-
It’s just waking up and beginning each day,
By counting your blessings and knelling to pray.
It’s giving up thoughts that breed discontent,
And accepting what comes as a gift heaven sent-
It’s giving up wishing for things you have not,
And making the best of whatever you’ve got.
Its knowing that life is determined and planned,
And that GOD holds the world in the palm of
HIS HAND-
And it’s by completing what GOD gives you to do,
That you find contentment and Happiness too!
