Birthday Card Using CTMH Skylark Paper Inside, Cricut AP Cart and Cricut Artbooking Cartridges

DT Project for The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 66 - Based On A Book

Hello fellow crafters!  It is a beautiful day here in sunny CA.  I went for a bike ride this morning. (The day I wrote this.) I love looking at all the beautiful trees, flowers, birds, etc.  I know some of you are still having bad weather.  I am so sorry I can't share mine with you; other in words.  Spring will come soon; but probably not soon enough for most of you.

It is time for another new challenge with The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 66 - Based On A Book.  Our sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter.  I love all their digital images.  You receive the black and white outlines; as well as the colored ones when you order.  Be sure to visit their store and their blog; as well.  

I have chosen this image from The Paper Shelter - The Music Practice.  The book is "Flute In The Forest" by Leela Gour Broome. You can click on the pictures and I think they will enlarge.  They do when I try it.  It is hard to get a good picture of an Easel card.  I am in love with these cards right now.  LOL!
