I'm delighted to welcome you to the Serendipity Stamps September Blog Hop, where this month's theme is Cheer Up! What a great opportunity to think about those special folks in our lives who need some hugs, love and a pretty card to buoy their spirits and bring a smile to their face. We all know how amazing the power of 'sending positive thoughts' can be for both the receiver and the giver. Let's brighten someone's day, okay? Okay!!
When you hop along with us (you should have arrived here from wonderfully talented Patti's blog), you'll be treated to some dazzling creativity AND and a prize opportunity.
Here's the hop order:
Leaving comments puts you into the running for a prize: a $20 gift certificate to one commenter randomly selected from all the blogs. You can leave comments through to midnight Sept. 25th (US EST) ; the lucky winner will be announced on Mary's blog on the 26th.
My card features the brand-spanking new Speech Bubble and Uplifting Words sets. Even though the sentiments were designed for the balloon-themed dies, I think they're wonderful tucked inside those fun, sketchy thought bubbles....
I've created a matching envelope for my little cheer up card, using a couple more images from the same sets...
How cool that the Speech Bubbles also double as clouds! I can visualize them inked in blue..or rainbow *grin*...for a colourful, splashy sky background...

Such a cool, clean & simple card! I love the whimsical font and the almost 'cartoon-ish' look of the image...totally fun, fun, fun! You're right - the speech bubble can also become an awesome cloud!
Super sweet! The speech bubbles are fabulous!

What a great idea to use the sentiment as the central image and then the wordy paper behind which complements it beautifully Carol. x
