Happy Thursday night, folks! I’m sharing an extra card tonight…it’s one I showed on OWHtv but wanted to put this one here on my blog….especially because I think it fits the Moxie Fab World Repetition Challenge pretty well! Be sure to read the post – and be sure to check out the new issue from Paper Crafts – it’s a card design handbook!
As I had said on the show – there’s a little story behind this card. I do a lot of videos – between OWHtv and my vlogs, it’s quite a bit! And, according to some folks, I say “yay” a bit too much. I do try to ignore the haters – they don’t really deserve my time or brainspace. But these comments did get under my skin. It’s one thing to say that someone uses “uhm” too much. That’s something that those of us in the public eye hate in our own speech anyway…I can hardly watch the live shows at all because I can’t get over my blah blah blah. LOL. But….for people to complain about a happy thing like saying YAY. Really? So…this card is in honor of all the haters. 
So….I’m off to watch a video of someone else who gets a lot of haters…and I’m determined to counter all that negativity as best I can with my life. Our country’s filled with badittudes and namecalling….and I hope that someday people learn that it only breeds more of the same and drags us all down. I love that OWH unites all perspectives in service to others….and I really really hope that at least OUR people keep that attitude of kindness through the coming months – assuming the best motives on the part of others. Disagreeing’s fine – tearing others down never is. Let’s keep moving forward – and make our world a better place
Yay!

- Imaginisce Trees: before and after | Sandy Allnock - [...] The idea is to show a card ‘before’ giving it a boost….I make the befores and afters both, or ...
go for it Sandy! it is a hard time with all the misinformation and disagreement in the country now. But it is America, the best place and I for one say “Yay” and thank you to the people who are in the business of keeping it free.
I say a big bold-faced YAY for you, Sandy, and let’s keep on keepin’ on for our heroes!
I can’t believe people would go out of their way to criticize you for being happy about things. We all have idiosyncrasies and there’s no need to point out to others what their habits are unless they are harmful. I say keep on spreading the happiness! Oh, and how many attempts did it take to get that card right? I don’t think I would have gotten all those words inked well and stamped right in under 10 tries.
It’s a one-take card! I used a block with a grid
I love the card! very fun. and I also wondered how many attempts it would take to get the words laid out right. Sounds like you had that aspect covered!
and, yep, it’d be a great place if there could be more positives and “atta boys” and “good going!” rather than all the negativity! keep on being your happy self in your videos and we’ll keep enjoying watching you!
I am sending out another YAH and this one’s for you. I love your happy,positive, and FUNNY way of looking at life. You make me smile! Thank you for being a kind influence for all of us!!!
There’s only one thing to say, and that’s YAY YOU! Way to spread the love Sandy, you’re such a tower of strength and goodness with all you do, and I hope you keep spreading the love exactly like this! That’s a really cute and fun little card, and I’d much rather see a YAY bird, than a BOO bird any day
{hugs}
YAY Sandy!!
Love your “yays” Sandy….. keep ‘em coming anytime you like. ….. YAY!
Sandy YAH YAH YAH to you for pointing out all the hate. I am so sick of it. You do such a great job for OWH and USA. Thank you and keep spreading the love. LOVe will win.
