Encouragement Card With Sketches By Carly Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hello everyone!!  I hope you are doing well and finding time to create.  I have to start getting my house ready for my husband's family coming for two weeks; so I won't be on here much after the 15th for a couple weeks.  I will miss having time to create; but will be so ready after such a long break!! 
 
It is time for another new sketch with Sketches by Carly.  Carly is a beautiful, creative, 13 year old lady who has such a fabulous talent that I feel very privileged to be part of her Design Team.  She also finds time to create digital stamps as well as her great sketches.  Check out her digital stamps at Carly's Cuties.  This sketch is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps; and they will be offering 7 free digital stamps for the winner of this weeks prize.  Be sure and create your card using Carly's sketch and join us in the fun!!

I used CTMH "Dotty For You" Paper Packet; which is retired.  I wanted to use the page with the bicycle and all the encouraging sentiments already on the paper; plus I added others to the blank spots.  I added "You're the best", "You're amazing", "Life is Good" and "You Make The World A Better Place."  They are stamped with CTMH Lagoon ink (Teal blue color).
