Thank you and Thinking Of You Cards - Using CTMH Golden Moments Cut Above Card Kit

Hello friends.  I am taking a break from my two Design Teams and trying to take a break from life right now.  LOL!  It has been so stressful these past few months; that I just need a break; especially a mental break.   I am sure a lot of people feel that way.  I feel like my life is on a roller coaster and I thought retirement was supposed to be boring and less busy.  LOL!  I am only retired from nursing.  I still have my CTMH Consultant business; which keeps me very busy; but I love it.  

I created these cards about a month ago; when this kit was released.  I fell in love with it right away.  These have gold foil flowers and greenery imprint on them; with gold foil around the edges of the sentiment die cut as well.  The CTMH Golden Moments Cut Above Card Kit is sold separately; so you can choose the stamps you want to use with it.  I bought the "Thank You, Thinking Of You, Celebrate and Happy Birthday" in the small "M" stamps.  I love this size; as they are perfect on this card.  You can find this kit and stamps on page 31 of the new CTMH Annual Inspirations Idea book.  I hope you enjoy them as well.  It is a little hard to get a picture showing the foil.  LOL!

I wanted to at least share something with you; while I am off on my break.  LOL!

Thank You Card Using Conie Fong Bella Rose and CTMH From The Heart Stamp Set

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  This has been a really rough year for bad weather; and it doesn't look like it's not over yet.  My heart goes out to the people in Mexico, the Islands hit in the Atlantic, and parts of the United States.  2 big Earthquakes and 1 Hurricane in Mexico in such a short time.   Hurricane Harvey came back three times to hit Texas and LA.  Hurricane Irma and then Hurricane Maria both hit some of the Islands in the Atlantic.  Hurricane Irma hit south FL very hard; and now it looks like Hurricane Maria is headed for the East coast of the United States.  What a mess!  

My mind and body decided it was time to take a break from everything, including crafting until November.  There has been so much going on with family and with my health; that I can't keep up right now.  I need a break; so watch for my next post in November; if all goes well.

I created a Thank You card using Conie Fong "Bella Rose"; which is one of Conie Fong new releases for September.  I love this sweet image.  I had to use my new paper that I purchased from a friend of mine on her Facebook group.  I tried not to cover the paper with these beautiful flowers and butterflies.  I hope you like it.  

I also used the CTMH "From The Heart" stamp set from our September National Stamping month card kit, on the inside.  It is only available in September.  Get yours before the end of September.  See more information by clicking link.  More pictures below for the September special.
