Everyone smile -Lovely Hanglar challenge-Lace +Stamp with Fun-Card for a Boy/Man +Sweet Stampin-Vintage +Sketch Saturday challenge 113

Good morning everyone, the weather here is just awful its really dark, stormy and heavy not like July at all and people are walking about with gloomy faces and in such dark moods isn't it weird how the weather affects some people, surely if the weathers bad you should smile to cheer yourself and others up instead or is that just my female logic lol...my card for today is for the Lovely Hanglar challenge of using lace (see you can use lace on boys cards lol), Stamp with Fun Card for a boy/man, Sweet Stampin Vintage challenge and I used the fab sketch from Sketch Saturday for it too...I love this little Hanglar boy don't you he reminds me of the Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn books, hes coloured with distress inks and I teamed him up with this amazing paper from Graphic45 Renaissance Faire collection and is called Bona Fide...the stunning lace is from my scrap box and there was just enough for this knotted bow, I finished with three fat pearls and a Tim Holtz ticket...I hope you like it...whatever your up to today don't forget to smile its contagious

    Hi, Mina. Talking about the weather, I agree with your female logic. Actually here it is fine and the temperature is warm, so in a male logic we should all smile lol ! I like your card very much, I like the way you used lace and paper! Hugs. Miria :)))

    The weather in Holland was cloudy and rainy and 19 degrees, not very summery.

    Have a nice day.
