Hello to all my blogging and crafting friends. I have been staying inside most of the week due to the extreme hot weather here in Southern CA. I hope everyone is staying cool. I tried to go bike riding early yesterday morning and I had a bike wreck. Not sure how it happened. I forgot how badly a fall can make you feel. I ache all over; but I want to get this post done before resting.
I created a Thank You card for my Mojo Monday card this week. I am a little late in getting it on here. I used CTMH Stella Paper Packet and a couple different stamp sets. I used the new Cricut Artiste Collection stamps for the outside sentiment and the Cricut Artiste Cartridge for the sentiment accent. I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection stamp set for the inside sentiment. The cute little gnome and mushroom are from CTMH "Gnome Garden" which is retired now. I love that stamp set and thought it would be cute on a Thank you card.

Hi Shirley-Anne, nice to hear from you again. I am on my way to recovery. I have a bruise half way down my leg and a lot of pain in my knee; but I am sure it will continue to improve over time. Yes, a lady and a man both stopped to help me. The lady stayed until my husband picked me up. They were very nice. Thanks for the lovely compliment and for visiting my blog. Have a fantastic weekend Shirley-Anne.
