Birthday Card Using CTMH Whimsy Paper Fundamentals and Cricut Artbooking Cartridge



Hello fellow bloggers/readers.  This summer is almost gone.  I can't believe it is the end of August already.  Where did the time go?  I think school is back in session; so a lot of mother's are having to get the kids up and off to school every day.  I bet the kids didn't feel like they even had a summer.  


EXCITING NEWS ........... 

Digistamps4Joy will be celebrating it's 100th challenge on the DS4J blog on September 3rd! To celebrate this fabulous milestone, we are holding a Blog Hop for 2 weeks; plus DS4J is giving away fabulous prizes during and after the Hop; both on DS4J blog as well as the DT blogs! Don't miss this, as you will have a whole month to celebrate with us and to win prizes! WATCH My Blog For Updates!

It is time for the Mid-Challenge DS4J Challenge 99 - Circles at DT Project for Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 99 Circles.  We have two teams at DS4J; so be sure to check out the creations on both the links.  

I had to use some of my new  CTMH Paper Fundamentals - Whimsy Assortment.  These are double sided prints, cardstock weight; and they match our regular cardstock based on the theme you choose. One side is shiny with the same pattern as the reverse side; which makes it fun to create with them. This one is with the new color Thistle; which is a purplish color.  It is hard to tell with these pictures; as one shows lighter than the other one.  The top picture is a more accurate color. Maybe the white helps to set it off.  Choose between, Whimsy, Enchantment, Adventure and Basics.  I now have all 4 and they are so much fun!
