The world just doesn't have enough smiles. I noticed that while out shopping this holiday season. I decided then and there that one of my resolutions was going to be to smile more this year! So I based my card on smiling. I used the smallest punch to punch out the letters from the designer paper, and the other punch to punch circles in black. Popped them up on the card. Embossed the sentiment in black.

Too true! I flash around smiles, and comments like "groovy", that make others smile. Love your idea, and the card you made. Happy New Year!

They say if you smile at someone they may in turn smile at someone and then lots if smiles going around. Cute way to do your smile word and colors of background just seem to pop when looking at it.

Love this!!!!!!!! I know I found my smile when I was forced into retirement. And I didn't realize how much over the past 10 years I had really lost my smile, until I had found it again. It feels so much better to smile

A perfect card and a perfect resolution! My face tells the story of my smiling, I have those crows feet as a dead give away. Think of the phrase, smile and make them wonder what you're up to!

Kathy, what a gorgeous card with that wonderful bow against the cheerful paper. And a great resolution, too. I always remember (and it was when we were going through a tough time, so it wasn't that life was easy), one of the regular bus drivers on our route commented that I was always smiling. It doesn't cost much, and it certainly makes other people feel better.
