Sending Smiles Step Card Using Aurora Wings Succulent Sprite with CTMH Boutique Paper Pack

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It has cooled down a little bit in Southern CA; but still hot at times.  I feel so bad for the people in Northern CA with all the fires they have been having.  It is very sad that there are people out there who deliberately set these fires; which then causes loss of life and home for many people.  

I can't believe that I finished another card this week.  I love coloring the little Aurora Wings Sprites; as they are so easy and fun to color.  I wanted to create something to enter in the Aurora Wings Sketch challenge; so I created this center step card using Aurora Wings Succulent Sprite, JPG file or get the PNG file Aurora Wings Succulent Sprite.  They are currently on sale.

Birthday Card Using Conie Fong Summer Dreams

Hello friends!  How is everyone?  It has been a little cooler in Southern CA; but I still haven't had much energy to create.  I know many of you are super busy getting the kids ready to go back to school; which is always a lot of fun. 

It took me a while to get this one colored and created.  It seems to be taking more time to create.  I think my creative Mojo is taking a much needed break.  I was creating every week and sometimes more than once a week; but I haven't had the time to do that lately.  The desire is still there; but I am trying to exercise at least 30 min to 1 hr. a day; which is more than I was doing.  Exercising takes time.

I created this card using Conie Fong "Summer Dreams" which is one of my favorite images.  I love them all; so I always have trouble choosing one to work with.  I love coloring hair; especially long hair.  I hope you enjoy this creation.  It is more clean and simple than my normal; but I love clean and simple.
