Birthday Card Using CTMH Ivy Lane Paper and Cricut Artiste Cartridge


Hello friends, crafters and followers.  I heard again today that the north and northeast had more snow.  I can't believe how bad the weather has been for a lot of the US this year.  I feel guilty having such great weather in Southern CA.  I wish everyone could have our weather.  Wouldn't that be nice. 

You have one more week to create something to enter Digi Stamps 4 Joy Challenge 90 - Easter or Spring.  That one should be an easy one for all of you.  I used the image DS4J Welcome Home for my card.  I loved this birdhouse and flowers the minute I saw it.  I cut a little bird from my Cricut Artiste Cartridge to sit on the limb; coming out of the birdhouse.   What good is a birdhouse without a bird?  LOL!

I used my favorite CTMH paper; which is Ivy Lane.  I have been stocking up on this one; so I will have plenty in the future.  LOL!  In the past; I would only buy one or two packs of the paper I really liked.   I finally realized they sell out sometimes; or I didn't get around to ordering them on time before the Idea book expires.   I order more and stock up now; so that doesn't happen to me.    I love the variety of papers in all of our paper packs.  

Twisted Easel card.  
The true colors are different shades of pink, green and deep purple.

Encouragement Card Using DS4J New Release - Ohana-cho and Cricut Artbooking Cartridge

Digi Stamps 4 Joy New Digistamp Releases - Check out nine new awesome Digistamps.

Hi to everyone in blogland.  Happy Easter!  I hope everyone had a fabulous day today.  My husband was off work on Friday; so we went to the beach for part of the day.  It has been gorgeous spring/summer weather here and it was nice to get away for a while.

I am very excited to announce the new DS4J digistamp releases.  I am a little late; but better late than never.  I just received this Digi and had to use it right away.  I love this beautiful young lady, the flowers in her hair and the gorgeous butterfly!  I also used DS4J Blessings sentiment on the inside of my card.  I took this picture near sundown; so it would probably be better in the daylight; but I wanted to get it finished today.  LOL!  

I am entering this card in the Path of Positivity Challenge - Peace; which I almost forgot.  Be sure to check out Lisa's wonderful blog.  Her fabulous DT created some awesome cards for this challenge. This young lady has such a peaceful look on her face.  She is looking at the beautiful butterfly; which made me think of the feeling of peace; when I saw her.  I love butterflies; which also remind me of the many blessings we have in our lives.  This sentiment and the inside sentiment; remind the giver and the receiver how much it means to count our blessings.  "Blessings Brighten When We Count Them".  I have always been told that if I am discouraged, feeling sorry for myself or feeling depressed; to write down what I am grateful for; and as you write; you will feel a sense of peace.  It works for me; so give it a try.  There is always something to be grateful for; even if it is just that the sun is shining or that it is raining.  I hope to encourage the person who receives this card; to feel a sense of peace when they read the sentiments and see all the gorgeous butterflies.

Friendship/Thank You Card Using CTMH Ariana Paper Pack and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

GDT Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges - Challenge 15 - Anything Goes - Use A Stamp Or Digi On Your Creation

Hello friends/crafters.  How is everyone doing?  I am so excited and honored to be chosen as a Guest Designer for Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges.  This challenge should be very easy for all of you; just use a stamped image or Digi Image and you can enter this challenge.  Be sure to check out all the fabulous creations by the DT.  

I chose to do a simple card; although it took me longer than planned.  The colors were not what I wanted; so I had to change colors after already cutting out all the pieces.  The pictures didn't come as well as I wanted; because the colors are too light for the camera; therefore it makes them darker or changes them completely.  Sorry about that.  

I used my CTMH stamp set Fabulous You; which is one of my favorites.  I also cut the dies with Cricut Art Philosophy.  I love background dies; but I think I probably should have chosen a different paper for this background.  I hope you can see the heart in the die cut.  I love this bird with the ext and flourish.

CTMH Fabulous You Stamp Set - C1533
