Birthday Card Using CTMH Avonlea Paper Pack With Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #67 - Anything With Wings

Hi to everyone.  I hope you are having a fabulous day!  The weather has been nice in Southern CA; but starting to get hot again.  I have been trying to get back into my normal routine after vacation; but everyone knows how hard that is to do.  I am waiting anxiously for my daughter to close on her house; which is scheduled for Monday.  I wish I could be there to help her move.  She is going to have her hands full with 4 kids, 3 dogs and 1 cat.  Their furniture and all their belongings are in a storage unit right now because the closing was delayed 2 weeks ago when they sold their current home.  I am so excited for her and her family.
 
It is time for another fabulous challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner #67 - Anything With Wings.  Be sure to check out the other creations and join the fun by entering our challenge.  If you would like to have a chance at the Guest Designer spot for a week; just add GDT behind your name when you enter.  Our sponsors this week are Eureka Stamps and Kenny K.  They have incredible Digi Stamps; so be sure to check out their stores.
 
I chose Kenny K Devilish Donna Precolored for my image this week.  I love this image and had to use it when I saw it.  I had a challenge with creating my card this week due to creator's block; which hasn't happened to me for a while.  You can get Devilish Donna with and without color.  I love having that option because you can use either one that suits your mood.  I decided to use all Digi sentiments inside and outside my card this time; and the best part is they were FREE from Hannelie at Desert Diva.  Check out her blog for more wonderful free Digi sentiments.

    Fab creation, but technically not compliant with our challenge rules this month at NMWC. To be eligible to enter you must choose one item from each column, you have chosen all items in only one column, so sorry. Suzanne owner NMWC

      I do qualify Suzanne. I just didn't see the message to choose one from each column. I have changed my entry to reflect one from each column. I have more than one from each column. I have Bling/Buttons/Sparkle/Glitter. Sorry for the confusion. Usually Bingo is in a line up/down or across. I will try to read more carefully next time. Thanks for the compliment. I love your challenges. Hugs, Gloria

    Such a wonderful card Gloria. Thank you for leaving a comment letting me know how your project symbolizes strength to you. I am glad that the fairy epitomizes the strength within your daughter to be who she is. She certainly is strong to take on moving a household that large. There are only two of us here and I can't even begin to imagine how we are going to accomplish the task of downsizing to move into an apartment within the next several years. Maybe your daughter can lend me some of that indomitable strength that she has to tackle such an undertaking. Thanks for adding once again to this month's Path of Positivity. It is always lovely to see you share.

    What a marvelous card, your daughter is going to love it - I hope the closing went well and she's getting herself all moved in! It is tough to get back into the swing of things but apparently your vacation had you thinking very artistically! This is a really elegant but fun card you've created and you certainly have given it WINGS! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Opus Gluei, I hope you return for more challenges with us!
