Hello everyone. It is almost the New Year. Are you ready to make those New Year's Resolutions? Me neither. LOL! I try to do at least one; but not if I don't think I can follow through with it. I would like to lose a little more weight this next year; but not sure I am ready to give up some of my favorite foods. I lost 25 lbs the year before and have kept 23 lbs of it off. My weight fluctuates a few pounds each day. I used "The New Sonoma Diet" to lose it before; which is an easy diet to follow.
It's time for another great week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge #44 - Manly Card. If you would like to be a Guest Designer, put GDT after your name when you enter. I usually find it hard to create manly cards. This time was easier. I chose to create a Congratulations card for my son-in-law for his promotion at work and also for buying a fabulous little blue car. He is a hard worker and deserves the good things coming to him.
I chose a digi from QKR Stampede "Old Car" and love how it turned out. I purchased a CTMH retired paper packet called Felicity Collection. I fell in love with this paper packet as soon as I saw it. It includes some great papers for the men as well as some for the females too.
Inside Card
Supplies I used for this card:
Die Cuts - Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridges
Paper - CTMH Felicity Collection - Retired
Cardstock - CTMH Sky outside and CTMH Twilight inside with CTMH White Daisy for sentiments
Base card - Ivory
Image - QKR Stampede "Old Car"
Ink outside - CTMH Sky
Ink inside - CTMH Twilight and CTMH Crystal Blue inside
Stamp Set - Outside - CTMH "Casual Expressions" - D1525 and CTMH "It's Your Day" (retired)
Stamp Set - Inside - CTMH Blue Ribbon - C1464
CTMH Square Durables - Z1705

Hi Archana, Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes - I work for Close To My Heart (CTMH) and their products are awesome. I have the current Idea Book on my right side showing our products. I have a newsletter if you would like me to add your email to it. It shows the specials every month that we are having including extra ones that I have. We also have the best two Cricut Cartridges they make. Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy. The Cricut Art Philosophy is the reason I joined the company. It has 100 cards on it. The Artiste is more 3D; but I use it for making cards as well. You can see those on right side of my blog as well. Have a wonderful day and thanks for the compliment. Hugs, Gloria

Love that car! Very nice. Thanks so much for playing along with us over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria, I've also popped over from Fun With ATCs... I see Mark hasn't had a chance to get back to you and answer your question yet. ATC stands for Artist Trading Card - it's a format which traditionally artists have used to exchange or hand out tiny samples of their work - so it's 3.5 x 2.5 inches in size. We'd love to have you play along if you'd like to experiment with that size - it's a really fun way to work!
ReplyDeleteAlison x
Thanks Alison. So sorry. I have another blog that has ATC's in the title; but I didn't realize that's what it meant. Thanks for letting me know. Hugs, Gloria
