Christmas Card Using Aurora Wings Garland Sprite

Hello friends!  I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving.  My husband and I were able to spend Thanksgiving in MO with some of my family.  It has been about 8 yrs. since we were there for Thanksgiving; so it was a special time for all of us.  I wish my middle son, Jeffrey would have been there with his family; to make it complete; but he had to work. 

I just finished a card using Aurora Wings Garland Sprite.  It was a freebie for those who participated in Aurora Wings Facebook Celebration.  It is such a sweet image; that I had to use it as soon as I got home from our Thanksgiving trip.  Today is the last day to enter it in the Holiday Sprite Facebook Challenge.

I didn't want to color with the traditional colors of green and red; so I used pink, dark and light greens; plus a dark blue.   I thought it turned out really cute.  I love this HOTP Christmas Lace paper pack that I have had for quite a while.  I hope you enjoy my card.

CTMH Cyber Monday Sale and CTMH Everyday Life Planner Sale

Hello friends!  I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving.  My husband and I were able to spend Thanksgiving in MO with some of my family.  It has been about 8 yrs. since we were there for Thanksgiving; so it was a special time for all of us.  I wish my middle son, Jeffrey would have been there with his family; to make it complete; but he had to work.  

I have missed my crafting while I was away; but I think I needed the break.  If I am home; I am on the computer a lot.  I had very little time for the computer and there was no Wi-fi in the condo we were staying in Branson, MO.   The weather turned out perfect.  It didn't rain until late Wednesday through Saturday.  I wish I could have brought some of that rain home with us to Southern CA.  LOL! 

CTMH is having a fabulous Cyber Monday sale; which starts Monday, Nov. 30th at 9 am MST until Wed, Dec. 2nd at 4 pm MST for 25% off select items in our current Idea books. I also have a CTMH video with our new CTMH Everyday Planner System.  I am so excited; because you can do so much more than plan with this planner.  Check out the video; and let me know what you think.  It is on special while supplies last; beginning Dec. 1st.  I will be buying mine as soon as I am allowed.

Hello Card Using Art By Miran "Talkative Tracy" and Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.   I know the weather has been colder in some areas; but we were very warm here the past two days; during the day.  At night; it gets a little cooler.   

I finally finished my Art By Miran "Talkative Tracy" Progressive Facebook Challenge card today.  It is such a sweet image.  I had a fun coloring her and finding paper for her. You still have plenty of time to purchase this image for a discounted price by clicking here.  She is listed as "Reserved Image".

My biggest challenge is finding paper to go with my ideas for the card.  Does anyone else have that challenge?  Once I figure out the paper; I can select the Copic colors to match and then lay out the pattern to make sure I have enough colors of matching paper.  That is the hardest part; selecting the paper and finding papers to match in what I have selected.  Most of the time I use CTMH; which has several options to match; but my stash seldom seems to have matching papers in the paper pad I am selecting.  

Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge
Ribbon and most of paper is a dark purple; but it looks dark blue in picture.  
I just can't get the colors to look right in my pictures.
