Pocket Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and CTMH Brushed Paper Pack

Hello Friends.  It is another beautiful day in Sunny CA.  I hope all of you are enjoying the weather where you live.   I rarely complain about the weather since I moved to CA in 1999. It is hard to believe that I have lived here for 16 yrs.  Everyone tried to discourage me from moving to CA; telling me that I could never make a living here; because it was so expensive. Some things are higher and some things are lower in cost than other parts of the US.  The most important factor for me; is the no smoking laws.  I have a horrible allergy to smoke; so it is a blessing for me.

I decided to step out of my comfort zone several months ago; and created my first pocket card for my mother; while she was in the nursing home. I really like working with this type of card.  It was fun to create.  I am just getting time to post it.
