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.

  6. ugh! I just left a long post, and google did a little dance and lost it! Let me start over LOL Hi, Gloria! I love this beautiful step card with the gorgeously rich colors, and the darling little fairy so sweetly colored and shaded. The embellishments are gorgeous. I have pinned your card because I am truly inspired by the arrangement on your card. Gorgeous - Since a step card is uncharted territory for me, you have given me further inspiration how to create one that looks a little different with that special touch of elegance. Thank you for visiting my blog today and making my day with your very kind comment! hugs, de
