Thank You Cards Using CTMH Chantilly With Cricut Artiste and Art Philosophy Cartridges

March 1st Blog Hop for Damask Divas Using CTMH Chantilly Paper Packet. 

Hello all you wonderful followers, bloggers, crafters and friends.  I am so happy to be able to join my team for another fabulous blog hop.  This is a creative group of ladies and they always surprise me with their talent.  I hope you will take the time to visit each blog and leave them some love.  There is a drawing for everyone who registers.  The Blog Hop list is on the Damask Diva blog.

I created Thank You cards for my business; which could be changed to a birthday or other occasion if you desired.  I love this Chantilly paper packet.  It has so many colors and versatility that it can be used for many celebrations and/or holidays.   This is just two of the beautiful colors in this packet.  I created 8 cards with this paper, 2 of 4 different colors; but I only have 2 displayed here.  I love how so many of these shapes coordinate with each other on the Cricut Artiste Cartridg and I love the doilies on this cartridge.

Hi all you wonderful people!!  I hope everyone is having a great life and finding time to create.
 
I created these Thank you cards over a month ago; but haven't had time to post them on my blog.  I hope you enjoy them.  I used the Dotty For You Paper packet that we had early last year; which is now retired.  I love this paper and wanted to use it for my Thank your cards.  I love the dragonfly found on the Cricut Art Philosophy.  I use these two cartridges as my main cartridges and there is always one of them in my Cricut.  If you haven't checked them out; I would highly recommend it.  They are the best two cartridges I have found for the Cricut.

Thank You Card Using Paper Piecing With CTMH Chantilly Paper

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #51 - Paper Piecing.

Hi to everyone!  I hope you are keeping warm.  There is some nasty weather out there this week and many people have had huge snow storms.  Stay safe and keep warm.  Maybe you can miss work and do some much needed crafting.  :)
 
My mom and I spent an entire day at Disney last Friday.  I pushed her around for about 9 hrs in a wheelchair and found I had more muscles than I was aware of having.  LOL.  We had a great time and rode a lot of kids rides.  She has a heart condition; so we couldn't ride anything too exciting.  LOL!!  This is the first time I have seen the parade at the end of the evening and it was really good.  It was a very busy day!!
 
This is another exciting week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #51 - Paper Piecing.  This weeks sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps. They have such wonderful digital stamps.  I hope you will try this challenge; even if you have never done it before. 

We are so excited to have two Guest Designers this week.  The first GDT is Trudy Thomas and the second GDT is Dayan Marin.  Please click their name to see their blog and beautiful creations.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; please put GDT behind your name with your entry.  Good luck to everyone and keep trying if you aren't selected the first time. 
 
This is my first time to do paper piecing and it was a major challenge for someone who has trouble cutting things out by hand.  If I could have used my Cricut; it would have been easier for me.  LOL!!  I chose Bugaboo Flower Pot 1 for my image.  I used the new CTMH Chantilly paper packet.

Birthday Card With CTMH Surf's Up Paper Using Cricut AP, Artiste and Sophisticated Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #50 -  Sketch.
 
Hi fellow bloggers and creators!  I am happy to be here and to be able to create.  I don't know how I survived all these years without creating like I do now.  I wasn't aware of it and was busy working a lot.  I hope all of you are finding time to create as well.  It is very therapeutic for me.

Please join us for another great week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge 50 - Sketch.  Desire has created a wonderful sketch for us to use as a guide this week; which is shown below.   Our sponsor this week is SK Digis.  Be sure to visit them on the web to see all the adorable images they have available.  Check out the other members of the DT so you can see their interpretation of this wonderful sketch.

Our Guest Designer this week is Debora.  Click on her name to view her blog and her wonderful creations.  If you would like to be a Designer on Tammy's Scrapin Corner; just add GDT behind your name when you enter the challenge.  We would love to have anyone who is interested enter and a winner will be chosen each week.  Don't give up if you don't win the first time.  Keep trying. 

I selected SK Digis "Teddy Bear With Turtle" for my twisted easel card this week.  I love this image and had to use it.  It was a challenge trying to find a shape I wanted to use for the center.  I wanted it to be different than my usual choice of backgrounds; which I think I achieved.  LOL!!  I finally found this backgroud piece on Cricut Sophisticated and decided to use it.  Any shape can be used as your center piece.  Just have fun with it.  Be creative!!

Friendship Card With CTMH Chantilly Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #49 - Handmade Embellishments.
 
Hello and happy February!!  I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm and healthy.  It has been cold again in Southern CA; but we are still luckier than other places.  My mom and I went to see a movie on Wednesday so she could have popcorn and we ate too much.  We both love popcorn and rarely have it; so we got the refillable size.  That was a big mistake.  It was fun and the movie was good.  There just aren't enough hours in the day to do all that I would like to do.  I guess I will never get enough of creating.  It is such a wonderful feeling to create something. 
 
It is time for another great week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #49 - Handmade Embellishments.  Our sponsor this week are Eureka Stamps.  Check out their wonderful selection of digi and rubber stamp sets.  Be sure to look at all of the DT creations.  They work hard every week to provide you with inspiration and a new challenge to help your creativity grow. 
 
If you would like to be a Guest DT; place GDT behind your name when entering your creation.  We would love to see more GDT's.  Don't be shy.  It is a great way to expand your horizons and step out of your comfort zone.  If you aren't chosen for the top 3 or GDT this week; it could be next week. Don't give up.   Keep creating and you will get there. It takes practice, practice, practice.
 
I chose "Heart Flowers In A Frame" for my image from Eureka Stamps this week.  I also used two of their sentiments.  The one on the outside is "Golden Thread" and the inside is "Life Is A Journey".  All three of these digi stamps are available in Rubber stamps as well.  The top two corners were a take on a tutorial from Desire for flowers on Always Be Yourself.
