Magic Birthday Card Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy

Hi to all my wonderful followers, friends and fellow crafters.  It is starting out to be a fabulous New Year.  My husband and I took a mini vacation and went to Sacramento and Redding, CA to see all the gorgeous mountains and scenery.  We went to Mount Shasta and several other places.  It was great to see the snow; but I wouldn't want to live with all that ice again as I did in MO.  My husband did all the driving; so it was very relaxing for me.  It was nice to get away for a few days.
I made this card before our mini vacation for a dear friend of mine named Rose.  I thought it was very appropriate for her since it had roses on it.  Rose was like a second mother to me when I was a child.  Her daughter, Jakye and I were best friends in grade school/junior high and inseparable.  Jakye tracked me down after over 30 yrs of losing touch with each other.  It is so great to reconnect with my long time friend.  

I used a digi stamp from Paper Makeup Stamps called "Moody For Flowers".  I love their beautiful digi stamps and this one is one of my new favorites.  I used the tutorial found on Marianne Skjelstad's blog. I fell in love with this "Magic Card" as soon as I saw it. Check out the tutorial and try it out for yourself if you haven't already tried it. I think this is my new favorite card design.  It isn't that hard to make with the wonderful tutorial.

    Hi Gloria, your card is lovely, so lacey and feminine. I'm sure that Rose is going to adore it. Great to read that you had a mini holiday, it's always nice if someone else is doing the driving.
    Thank you for joining in the fun at Lady Anne's Challenges (Nana Vic) We look forward to seeing your next creative project.
