Christmas Card Using Cricut Artbooking and CTMH Sparkle & Shine Paper


Hello to everyone reading this blog post.  I know some of you have very cold weather and snow; but please stay safe when commuting to work.  We still have summer weather in the 80's; but very windy at times in Southern CA.  I feel guilty when I hear of those of you having bad weather.  I am very blessed to be able to live here. 
 
I am so excited to be a Guest Designer with Quirky Crafts - Challenge 23 - Baby It's Cold Outside.  I was chosen for this position several months ago; but wasn't able to fulfill it until now.  Be sure to check out the wonderful creations by the DT.  Crafty Ribbons and Bugaboo are the sponsors at Quirky Crafts this week.  Check out the ribbons at Crafty Ribbons and all the fabulous digital images at Bugaboo.  I own more Bugaboo digital stamps than any other company out there.  They have weekly freebies to get you started; so what's keeping you from trying now.  Be sure to enter this fabulous challenge with Quirky Crafts. 

If you need help using or coloring digital stamps; visit my YouTube channel for how to videos or scroll down for these two mentioned on here.

I chose Bugaboo Christmas Mouse - Cocoa for my image this week.  She is so adorable!  I love this image!
