So, I guess I shouldn't make you wait any longer!  Boy, I sure hope you get inspiration from it!   The Shape EZ template is so special because it opens up twice!  Yep, the front flap opens up vertically from left to right, then the entire card shape opens up again Horizontally from bottom to top!  This leaves layers of room for embellishments and color and added texture too!  The Shapeology Spangled star die was perfect as a backdrop for this little guy with stars on his hat and with some pearls to embellish his face, he fits perfect with the fabulous new Apple Cider paper collection from Bo Bunny!   This template can be extremely simple to make a well because you don't have to use all of the sections when you assemble it!  However, I'm an eclectic designer and this gave me the perfect opportunity to use ribbon, flowers, dies, pearls, colors, images and sentiments along with jewels too!  Just my style! tehe

 INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

An individual's self-concept is the core of his personality. It affects every aspect of human behavior: the ability to learn, the capacity to grow and change. A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life. - Dr Joyce Brothers
