Happy Thoughts Canvas

Hi all,

I was playing around with some new stamps yesterday and wanted to created a shaker card using the owl stamp. I made the little shaker window, then mounted that onto the green PP, then onto the blue bazzill.I liked it so much that I wanted to turn it into a canvas. For some reason, this owl makes me feel very happy in my heart, so I wanted my canvas to be something that would make me happy, or remind me to be happy and also to be something inspirational.

I can write on the acetate (over the yellow pp) again and again, as I have used an erasable whiteboard marker.
