Friend Card Using Cricut Artbooking Cartridge and DS4J "I'm Cute" and "Flowerbed" Digis

DT Project for Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 94 Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

Hi to everyone in Blogland who is reading this.  I have been busy creating cards and trying to get caught up with all of my Thank you cards.  I hope you are having time to create.  I just wish I was faster at creating than I am.  I do feel the Cricut Explore has helped to speed up my creativity for some of the cards I create.  If I can create them online, using the correct size of card; then I can get the sizing to work, easier than I do creating it by hand.  I love the Cricut Explore. It actually allows you to size in .1 increments; which I find amazing.

It is time for the Mid-challenge at Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 94 Flowers, Flowers, Flowers.  I was able to merge two Digi stamps; which is my first at trying this technique.  (I created this one first; even though I have a post of another one that went live last Sat.)  I used DS4J "I'm Cute" (colored version) and also used DS4J Flowerbed (I colored).  Be sure to check out all the fabulous creations by the DT; for the main DS4J post and also for the Mid-Challenge post.

I am entering this card in the Path of Positivity Challenge - Happiness.  I love butterflies, flowers and purple.  Taking time to smell the flowers, watching butterflies and the color purple; make me very happy. I take time every day when I go out my front door; to stop and smell my Jasmine flowers and my roses.  The Jasmine will be gone soon; but I love that smell; as long as it stays outside.  I can smell flowers outside; but if they are brought inside; they don't agree with me.  I miss having flowers inside my house.
