SCS Challenge IC188, TGF Fresh Farm Friday and Sketch Saturday Challenges

Happy Sunday, Friends! Gosh, it's almost the end of summer. . .LOL! It feels like that time flies so quickly that a whole month feels like a blink of an eye. I think time flies quickly because there are so many things to enjoy in life that I feel that I'm not able to experience all the things I want to do, see, and absorb. I think it's because when you're happy, time seems to fly quicker. I wake up happy all the time. I do have my moments, but most times, I just see life as full of fun things to experience. I wonder if it's because I don't work. LOL!

Actually, I read in a study that people have a "set" point when it comes to happiness. Some people's set point are at a higher level, some lower. What this means is no matter what life circumstance occurs in your life, whether it's good or bad, we eventually return to our "normal" level of happiness when that circumstance no longer exist or the novelty wears off. They did a study of people who won the lottery and initially, the people have a heightened level of happiness, with time they eventually return to their "normal" level which was similar to what it was before they won all the money.



Anyway, I'm on the roll with these challenges! I'm getting into the habit of looking through challenges before I create a card.

With this card I participated in two challenges the Greeting Farm - Farm Fresh Friday and Sketch Saturday. The Farm Fresh Friday challenge is to use two TGF stamp sets, add a little bling, and a punch.

You can't really see it but I have Stickle glitters all over the flowers. In person it's very sparkly. The two stamp sets that I used are "Dahlia" and "Fancy Fleurs". I also used my round corner punch.

I used the Sketch Saturday sketch to create this card.

I participated in the SCS Inspiration Challenge - IC188 Chasing Fireflies Challenge. Using the Chasing Fireflies website, you need to pick an inspiration piece. This is my inspiration: Click Here I chose the colors of my inspiration to create this card. The SU new In Colors worked perfectly for this challenge.

I used the new Stampin Up Level 2 Hostess Set "Wings of Friendship". This is such a cute set. Unfortunately, you need to host a SU party totalling at least $300. Demonstrators were able to purchase the stamp set.
