    Wordy Wednesday ~ “Happy”

    Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

    I think one of best words in the English language is the word HAPPY. So this week’s challenge is to use that simple word, HAPPY.

    HAPPY:

  • enjoying or showing or marked by joy or pleasure or good fortune; “a happy smile”; “spent many happy days on the beach”; “a happy marriage”
  • felicitous: marked by good fortune; “a felicitous life”; “a happy outcome”
  • glad: eagerly disposed to act or to be of service; “glad to help”
  • Happiness is an emotional or affective state that is characterized by feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction. As a state and a subject, it has been pursued and commented on extensively throughout world history. This reflects the universal importance that humans place on happiness.
  • Here’s a page I made using the word happy…

    Everything in the page is using the Scrapperie’s May kit, “La Cage aux Folles”. The lacey edge was made using a Fiskars edging and embossing punch and some sandpaper.

    Don’t forget to post your challenge pages to this post or send Tara an email at thynner5@yahoo.ca with your included images. For every challenge you share with us, your name will be entered into the monthly prize draw. Good luck!
