Happiness is....







Happy Saturday!   It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenge with the Crazies!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C196).  



This week's challenge is all about 
a picnic!  You can interpret this however you wish.  
Food, fun, family, fresh air, or all of the above!



For my card I am using Verve's On Occasion, Twitterpated, Joyful Blooms, Treasured Words, and Dream Big stamp sets.  I combined these sets with some Verve's Cut Above Occasion Frame, Pennant Trim, Dreamy Leaves, Joyful Blooms, and Hearts & Swirls Frame die sets.  I am playing along with this Viva la Verve July Week 5 sketch/optional inspiration challenge.    

For the picnic themed challenge, I think of picnic blankets placed on some grass in a field with flowers and greenery all around.   I thought the die cuts looked like my idea of blankets layered on some grass.    I added the touch of deep blue panel in the middle of my meadow of flowers to mimic the possibility of a stream or pond nearby.   I think of family and friends when I think of picnics which is why I chose this sentiment.   I added some touches of gingham because when I think of a picnic I think "gingham" as well.    I chose colors to work with the Verve Inspiration photo.  


Splitcoaststampers Dare to Get Dirty Challenges kick off today!  I am playing along with a couple of those challenges as well! Check out my card here to find out which challenges I am playing!
