Back in my happy place...and a card to share

Oh what a wonderful serene last couple of hours I have had.  With school holidays over and a bit of time to myself, I was really looking forward to getting creative today.  Of course as is true to form Jocie style, there was a little bit of fluffing to do first.  So the first hour was taken up with assembling stamp sets and also reorganising my designer papers.  That out of the way it was straight into creating a card for my new little niece.  I decided to CASE a card made by the very talented Sarah Klass.  I saw this card over a year ago, and always wanted do something along her design lines.  Here is her original

And here is my mornings efforts.......... 

It probably took me waaaaaayyy longer that it should have to make,  but I had such a great time who cares! There was paper, stamp sets, markers all over the table - and it was fantastic.   Sounds silly, but Stampin'  is what makes me happy on the inside.  Speaking of this, I have set my self a little goal to add a little something to the inside of my cards, this saying is from the "Word Play" set.  I decided to add colour with my new Embosslits die "Sweet Buttons" from the Autumn-Winter mini catalogue.  Drop me a comment below, would love to know what you think ;-)  Card details below if you are interested -
