A little Baby Card

I am so out of touch, this card took me all morning! But I am pleased with the results.

Quote Stamp from PSX, background baby stuff from D.O.T.S. The ribbons on the tag fixed with that special stapler (I forget what it is called!), tag background done with alcohol inks, fabric flowers from local market, affixed with a hot glue gun. Border hand drawn with white gel pen, studs are matte silver, and I used a deckle scissor to cut the edge of the quote. All cardstock from Clubscrap.

Learned Helplessness

From Boing Boing:

"Stuck in a bad situation, even when the prison doors are left wide open, we sometimes refuse to attempt escape. The evidence suggests that learned helplessness in people is connected to the pessimistic attributional style. In this episode, you’ll learn how it keeps people in bad jobs, poor health, terrible relationships, and awful circumstances despite how easy it might be to escape any one of those scenarios."
