Today's Blogger's challenge was to use the layout on Page 42 of the Stampin' Up! idea book (the HB card) for inspiration. The layout is rather, well, simple, so that left quite a bit for interpretation. My creation uses several of the stamps from the new 9 block Happiness set (formerly one block, see the post below about The Block Guy) .
I was thrilled to find out that the flowers from the Happiness set make a perfect scalloped border when using the round slit punch (shown right). That made me feel even better about breaking up that Happiness block!
The layout for the challenge is below the card ingredients. Make sure to check out the other Blogger's Challenge cards -- the list of players is on my sidebar.
Don't forget to enter the GiveAway for the Artistic Outpost stamps, either! You have until Midnight tonight to enter (Friday, Feb 15th). The details are two posts below this one.

WOW!!! Great job! I have never used the Happiness stamp since we got it at convention LAST year. I think I'll remount mine and cut it up, too!
Oh my gosh, fabulous card, love how you stamped the scallops and then punched them out, fabulous!
Great job Pat! I love the design you did in the scallops!
Great idea using the flower as the focal point instead of a stamped image!! Very pretty!
Beautiful card. Great tip on the slit punch. And thanks for the link for blocks.

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing your tip about using the Happiness background piece with the slit punch. Just like Connie, I got this stamp at convention and I haven't used it since. . .
Neato GF! Great challenge, and impressingly staged! LOL
Such an adorable card, Pat! I just love it! I wish my Happiness wasn't already mounted!

Wonderful card. Love the colors and the cute flower scalloped border. Great idea on how to use that stamp to creat 9 different stamps. May have to keep that in mind.
I just got this stamp and have been debating on what to do. Mount it whole or cut it up! I just don't know.
Love this card though!
Great tutorial and I love the card too! Wonderful and TFS.
