Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

Hey friends,
I've seen this darling dress card everywhere on the Dreaming Tree Face Book page and now I know what all the fuss is about. This design is so clever and fun to cut and assemble, it seems no one can make just one card. I couldn't wait to download the SVG from the Dreaming Tree Website, dust off an older 12 x 12 scrapbook paper pad and go to town cutting bright bold prints for this super snazzy dress on my Cricut Explore Air 2. Before I knew it, I had whipped up nine cards in a flash.
These fancy frocks were delightful to embellish with satin bows, pearls and rhinestone jewelry. I was congratulating myself for creating such a hefty stockpile of generic cards when I realized I would be mailing at least five of them right away...three to friends I haven't checked in with for a while, one to my dear friend who has just finished radiation treatment for cancer and another young lady who is undergoing surgery for thyroid cancer as I write this post. I'm so glad my creative outlet affords me such a personal way to express my love and concern to my friends.
I have this pattern all set up in Cricut Design Space so I can whip up a batch in no time, just like baking cookies...only much more fun (and kinder to the hips.)
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and create something fabulous.
Nancy
