Birthday Card Using New CTMH Lollydoodle Paper and Cricut Art Philosophy

Hi everyone reading this in Blogland!  It is another beautiful day in Southern CA.  We had 92 on Friday.  I feel so bad for everyone having the bad weather.  It is hard to believe we have the worst weather on one coast and the best weather on the other.  It is a problem having 92 degrees without rain.  It means fires in CA; because of the drought problem.  I am praying for better weather for everyone coming soon.  

I had to hurry to get this card created before the Lacy Sunshine challenge ends today.  I had two rough weeks.  One with computer problems and then this past week I wasn't feeling good and I had too much catching up to do from the down week.  I also seemed to have one issue after another to deal with this week; so didn't have much time to create.  I hope things get back to normal now.

I love Lacy Sunshine images.  I think these little girls are the cutest ever.  I have bought most of them; but now I try to create one every two weeks and enter it; so I get the next image free.  What a great way to build up your adorable Digi stamp collection.  This one is Lacy Sunshine's "Issybella Boo".  I love her!  I made a birthday card for Lana; one of my granddaughters.  I am trying to get a head start on my cards this year; so I won't be rushing to create them the week before they are due.

    1. Thanks Erin. Go to You Tube and there are lots of videos to teach you step by step. I learned by watched the videos and trial and error. Give it a try. They are fabulous! Don't buy any additional Cricut cartridges until you try Close To My Heart Art Philosophy, Cricut Artiste and Cricut Artbooking. I am a consultant with them because of their Cricut Art Philosophy; which has 100 card bases on it. (700 items on each cartridge) Email me anytime with questions on how to get started. I can probably help; but watch the videos. You will be amazed at what it can do! Good luck. Hugs, Gloria
