Happy cows are smiling

 Good morning, it's been a busy week here, along with having our front doors and windows painted- inside and out- which took a lot longer than I thought it would, it was GCSE results day. My second granddaughter was hoping to get the grades she needed to secure her provisional place in the 6th form of her choice and I'm delighted to say she smashed it! One very happy girl as she opted to change schools and the one she wanted is always over-subscribed. Added to this she's managed to get herself a little part time job, so difficult for the youngsters these days compared to what it was like when I was her age, Saturday jobs were very easy to come by then. 

My card today is my DT make for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme- nice and easy- ADD A DIE CUT.

The cute image is a digi from Polkadoodles, I printed it out and masked it, adding the stencilled hearts through a die cut, which I think is Sissix. I coloured the image with Copics, adding loads of Wink of Stella to the hearts and also to the little hearts cut with the die. The sentiment is from a very old set (possibly Woodware?)

There's a story behind this choice of image, it was for my sister and BIL who celebrated their anniversary a couple of weeks ago. My BIL is usually the most patient and good tempered man but coming back from holiday a couple of years ago the traffic was awful, they were bumper to bumper for miles, he was stressed and tired and very grumpy. They passed (very slowly!!!) a field of cows and my sister said, trying to make him laugh, - 'Look at those cows, they're not cross, they are happy cows and they're smiling, smiling at you!' It was so silly he had to give in and laugh, since then it has been a family saying whenever someone is grumpy at something 'The happy cows are smiling' - so silly but it works. So some smiley cows for their anniversary.

There's more inspiration from my lovely teamies over at Sweet Stampin', hope to have you join in for this challenge.

Thanks for visiting, have a lovely weekend- a long one for us in the UK.
