Sympathy Card Using CTMH Chelsea Gardens Paper and Cherish Cardmaking Stamp

Hello friends!  How are you?  It has been super hot here in Southern CA.  I actually went out for dinner last night to celebrate my stepson's birthday.  There were 4 of us and we ate outside; but there were a lot of people there.  It was 92 degrees outside; but there was a breeze which helped.  COVID is on the rise again; so I was really stressed out about trying it.  I have not been out with family or friends at all since COVID started; so it was a big deal for me.  It was fun; but scary.  LOL!

This is my 2nd card using a retired paper pack with a some current CTMH products.  I always have such a hard time creating Sympathy cards; but I thought I better get it done.  I inventoried all my CTMH papers and couldn't believe how many I have.  LOL!

I added CTMH Workspace Wonder products to my desk a few years ago; and I was not able to use my video recorder on my desk after I did that.  It took me a long time to finally come up with a way to do videos with that same recorder; but on a different arm/holder.  Thanks for your patience.

Hello Card Using Multiple CTMH Products

Hello friends! I hope everyone is doing well.  It is so hot across the US.  I hope it is cooler for some of you at least.  I feel bad for anyone having to work outside in this heat.  

I have been trying to use some of my favorite CTMH papers; because I bought several packs of them.  It is easy to go overboard in buying crafting supplies; as most of you are well aware of.  If I like something, I want to have it for a while; even when it retires.  LOL!  I was doing an inventory of papers and found I had bought a lot more than I thought I had.  Isn't that what always happens?  

I did an Excel spreadsheet filing them by name and container.  This way I can find what I want, instead of searching through all the containers.  LOL!  

This is CTMH Chelsea Gardens Paper Pack.  The older packs came with 2 sheets of the Picture My Life cards; so some of my 4 cards (I seem stuck on the number 4 lately) were created with cutting those PML cards up. This one used some of those.
