Birthday Card Using Carly's Cuties and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi to all my wonderful fellow bloggers.  It is a gorgeous fall day in Southern California.  It is supposed to rain and storm today; which I am looking forward to.  I listen to storms on my CD player and love the sound of the falling rain and the loud claps of thunder.  I didn't appreciate the storms when I lived in Missouri and Florida.  I felt like it rained all the time in Florida; but I miss that now that I live in California.  We rarely have rain or thunder.  I miss the lightening; but am grateful we don't have the power outages from the storms like I grew up with.  Of course the sun is out right now; so we may not have the rain or the thunder.

 

It is time for another new sketch from Sketches by Carly.  This is the last sketch from Sketches by Carly; so come and join the fun.  Please come and say your goodbyes to the DT and to Carly.  She is going to focus on creating Carly's Cuties; which is her new line of Digi stamps and Digi papers.  This young lady is 13 yrs old and very talented.  I am grateful for her and the Design Team and feel privileged to have been part of the team these past few months.  I have learned so much from Kris, Carly's mother.  They have been a blessing to me.  Carly designs the Digi stamps and her mother, Kris designs the Digi papers.  You will continue to see her Digi stamps on my blog when she creates new ones.  I want to continue to support her creativity and help spread the word as much as I can.

 

This card is my first time using Digi paper.  I wasn't sure if I would like it or not; but it was very easy to use.  I printed the paper designs on cardstock; which makes it so much more sturdy.  Kris has created some gorgeous papers to match Carly's new colored Digi stamps; which makes it less of a challenge trying to find paper to match the Digi colors.  Her Digi stamps also come without color so you can add your own if you choose to do so. 

 

I created this card to give to one of my grandchildren.  They will love these bright colors and Birthday Allison as well.  I hope you enjoy my card and Carly's Cuties as much as I do.  I turned it around a little bit to make it work for a smaller size card rather than the 6 x 6 size.
