So, on to my card that makes me so Totally Happy!!

I am using stamps from the Quotes A La Happy and Totally Happy sets and I also made this for Maria's Rainbow challenge INRC1SUM10, and Lisa's Dog Days of Summer Challenge!

The stamps used to create this card are the cross-stitch border that I stamped in the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple colors to match the rainbow.  I used SU inks.  And I also stamped the sun (to make it summery for Lisa's challenge) and then added the sentiment from Totally Happy

The chipboard dots came from a chipboard sticker set from Bo Bunny's Sun Kissed line.  I am not sure what they are supposed to represent, but I liked the funkiness they brought to the card!! And I finished it off with a perfect black and white gingham ribbon.  (Yesterday I was channeling Eryn and today with the gingham I am channeling Maria!!  ;-)

Have you got an Ippity Chick to buy your new stamps from?

Have a great Hop and we will see you on the forums a little later today!!  Have fun and thanks for visiting and leaving such sweet comments on my blog this week!!  I wish you all luck in winning the free stamp sets or challenge contests!! :-)
