Birthday Card Using Carly's Cuties and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi to all my wonderful fellow bloggers.  It is a gorgeous fall day in Southern California.  It is supposed to rain and storm today; which I am looking forward to.  I listen to storms on my CD player and love the sound of the falling rain and the loud claps of thunder.  I didn't appreciate the storms when I lived in Missouri and Florida.  I felt like it rained all the time in Florida; but I miss that now that I live in California.  We rarely have rain or thunder.  I miss the lightening; but am grateful we don't have the power outages from the storms like I grew up with.  Of course the sun is out right now; so we may not have the rain or the thunder.
 
It is time for another new sketch from Sketches by Carly.  This is the last sketch from Sketches by Carly; so come and join the fun.  Please come and say your goodbyes to the DT and to Carly.  She is going to focus on creating Carly's Cuties; which is her new line of Digi stamps and Digi papers.  This young lady is 13 yrs old and very talented.  I am grateful for her and the Design Team and feel privileged to have been part of the team these past few months.  I have learned so much from Kris, Carly's mother.  They have been a blessing to me.  Carly designs the Digi stamps and her mother, Kris designs the Digi papers.  You will continue to see her Digi stamps on my blog when she creates new ones.  I want to continue to support her creativity and help spread the word as much as I can.
 
This card is my first time using Digi paper.  I wasn't sure if I would like it or not; but it was very easy to use.  I printed the paper designs on cardstock; which makes it so much more sturdy.  Kris has created some gorgeous papers to match Carly's new colored Digi stamps; which makes it less of a challenge trying to find paper to match the Digi colors.  Her Digi stamps also come without color so you can add your own if you choose to do so. 
 
I created this card to give to one of my grandchildren.  They will love these bright colors and Birthday Allison as well.  I hope you enjoy my card and Carly's Cuties as much as I do.  I turned it around a little bit to make it work for a smaller size card rather than the 6 x 6 size.

  21. Gloria, LOL...I loved your intro to your post. I live in Missouri and they downgraded the storm coming through today, but since you've lived here, you never know if you can count on the report! Supposed to have tornados coming through today...it's crazy! I'm a little annoyed since all the leaves are changing beautiful colors and one good gust of that and I'll be raking! :( ANYWAY...nothings changed here. :) Your card is just gorgeous and I am so happy that you've ventured to use digi papers. These turned out beautifully and have showcased your image perfectly.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for joining us at Make It Monday and Squigglefly for our challenges. :)

I am happy to hear that someone does read my blog post. :) My family lives in MO and Mississippi and I worry about them with all the bad weather. I use to go home for Thanksgiving; but between all the tornados and snow storms - weather so unpredictable - it is best to stay here in SO CA. I miss having that delicious Thanksgiving meal.

  23. Gosh, isn't it true that we don't miss what we have until we no longer have it? I love Florida's rainy summers, though I don't "fully" appreciate the humidity LOL - we used to live in So. Cal and I loved our weather there. Still, at least you can hold balloons, as in your card, rather than being a lightning rod with an umbrella, right? Love your colorful take of the sketch, and the darling little smirk on the image. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hi Donna. Thank you for your sweet compliment. It is so true that we don't miss what we have until it is gone. I do miss Florida; but not the humidity, tornados or the hurricanes. Each place has the good and the bad. We have the earthquakes; which I am dreading when we get another big one. I haven't been here for one of those yet; just the little ones. I appreciate you taking time to visit and to read my post. Have a sensational weekend!! Hugs, Gloria
