Thank You card Using Cricut Artbooking On The Inside

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #73 - Use A Digi

Hello everyone.  I have been very busy trying to create and publish my Cricut Artbooking videos so all of you will know how to use it when it comes out on August 1, 2013.  I have been having so much fun with this cartridge.  I plan to create more scrapbooking pages; but time seems to be getting away from me lately.  I have always heard that time flies the older you get; and now I know it is very true.  I wonder why it feels that way.  Is it because as children; we couldn't wait to grow up so we could do adult things and as adults we want to stay young a little while longer?

It is time to create something quick and easy for Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge 73 - Use A Digi.  This is a fun challenge and I hope all of you will create something and enter for a chance to win.  It would be even more fun for those who have never attempted to create with Digi stamps.  I have two video's on my YouTube Channel.  The first one shows you how to use Digi Stamps with Microsoft Word and the other shows you how to color Digi stamps.  If you don't own a Digi stamp; just type in the words "free Digi stamps" on google.com and you will find lots of them.  If you aren't familiar with coloring with markers; then find one you can use as a black and white.  That is how I started using them.  Just have fun. 
 
Our sponsors this week is Bugaboo Stamps and Deasy Designs.  Be sure to visit their websites for some fabulous Digi stamps.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer on Tammy's Scrapin Corner; just add GDT behind your name when you enter this weeks challenge.  Good luck to all of you. 
 
I decided to do a CAS card this week using Bugaboo Thank You Tulip Block.  I love this Digi and wanted to try it out.  I also pulled out my embossing folders that I bought a while back and decided to try one of the new ones.  I combined my CTMH markers and Copic Markers to create this card.  I used my new Cricut Artbooking cartridge for the inside sentiment.  The cardstock is actually purple; but the color isn't very clear in these pictures.  The markers are colored with purple also; but they look blue in the pictures.  I hope you enjoy it.

Birthday Card For Male Using CTMH Tommy Paper and Cricut Artbooking Cartridge

Hi to everyone in Blogland.  I hope you are doing well and finding time to create.  It has been very hot here in Southern CA.  I think it is warm in most of the US right now.  I love to be outdoors; but I have to go very early to beat the heat when I want to ride my bicycle.
 
I created a card for my oldest son for his birthday; so I will share it with you today.  I actually created a regular card rather than a side step card.  Can you believe it?  I love creating those side step cards; but they do take me a lot longer to create.  My son and his wife are finishing the last year of their college to begin their adventure as Missionaries to Argentina.  They have one teenage daughter and one teenage son.  I am very proud of him and his family for making such a huge commitment; but also worried about them moving so far from home. 
 
I wanted to combine his birthday with several messages about being proud of him, etc.  It is hard knowing I won't see him or his family for a few years once they leave the US.  They still have at least one year; maybe longer before they leave.  I wish I lived closer to them; so I could enjoy every minute with them before they go. 
 
I hope you enjoy this card using CTMH Tommy Paper and the new Cricut Artbooking Cartridge for the die cuts.  I have created several new videos for creating with the new Cricut Artbooking cartridge; which includes this card on one of them.  Click here to see all my videos.

Birthday Card Using CTMH Laughing Lola Paper and Cricut Artbooking Cartridge

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #72 - Fantasy Creatures
 
Hello to all you fabulous crafters in Blog land.  I hope everyone is doing well and finding time to create.  I have been learning how to use the new Cricut Artbooking cartridge to create cards and having so much fun.  I can't wait to get started on using it for Scrapbooking.  I know it will save me a lot of time and hopefully get me started on creating scrapbooks for my two son's.  I planned to start them over a year ago; and just haven't had the time. 
 
One of my excuses was that I didn't have enough space to spread out my work; which was very true.  I now have a small room dedicated to just my office/scrapbooking/Cardmaking space.  I have an extra table that I plan to use to keep my layouts; but I haven't gotten it cleaned off since moving everything to one room.  I plan to get that done very soon; so I can begin scrapbooking.
 
I don't know if you are aware that I created two videos on You Tube (per your request); to demonstrate how easy it is to use Digital Stamps for your creations.  Here is the link to my You Tube Channel; so you can follow me and not miss any of my videos.  You can also find other videos under the "Video" tab at the top of the blog. 

I just finished creating two new Cricut Artbooking Videos last night; so they should be published by the end of the day on Monday, July 22, 2013.  I am planning to create more videos for the Artbooking Series to help you with your creations.  You can follow my You Tube channel.
 
It's time for Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge 72 - Fantasy Creations.  I hope you will create something and join us this week.  Don't forget to check out the awesome creations from the DT.  Our sponsors this week are Milk Coffee and SK Digis.  Visit their websites to see their fabulous Digital Stamps. 

Our Guest DT this week is Kelli.  Check out her blog for her fabulous creations.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer on Tammy's Scrapin Corner; please add GDT behind your name when you enter your creation.   
 
I chose Milk Coffee "Fairy Tiffany" because it was love at first sight.  LOL!!  I had to create another Side Step Card; since this is my favorite type of card.  I had fun coloring this image and creating this card.   I used a 6 x 12 cardstock, with 1 1/2 in. on one side and 4 1/2 in. on the other side.  I scored  at 1, 2, and 7 on the smaller side with only a 6 inch score on the bigger side.  Cut between 1 - 7 on the small side.  The fairy wings are really a light purple; but the color is hard to see in the pictures.   I hope you enjoy the inspiration.
