Birthday Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Yorkshire Terrier" With CTMH New Dies

Hello friends!  How is everyone?  I hope you are finding time to create.  I have had another spell of headaches and migraines; so I wasn't able to color or create except on Saturday.  I am trying to get this posted today; so that I can enter Ching-Chou Kuik's challenge; which ends tomorrow.  

I created this card using this adorable Ching-Chou Kuik "Yorkshire Terrier" image.  I created this for my granddaughter, Lana, who just got a new puppy.  I tried to color it like her puppy; which is not a Yorkshire Terrier; but still some kind of terrier.  The image looks just like her puppy; and I did the best I could to get the colors similar to hers.  Also, she has light brown/blonde hair; so I tried to get that as close as I could as well.  LOL! 

I decided to delete the one with the yellow layer of words on front; because they made me dizzy.  LOL!  

CTMH Doily and Lace Border are available after May 1st, 2019

Fun Fold Card Using CTMH Zoe Paper Pack

Hello friends! I sure hope everyone is doing well and that your weather has warmed up.  Southern CA has been heating up the past few days again; and other areas are getting snow storms.  Isn't this weather crazy?

My husband took me to Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in Lancaster, CA on Friday and again on Wednesday; and it was so gorgeous.  There are lots of trails to walk between all the fields of CA poppies.  It was so worth the trip.

The wind was very strong; and colder than we would have liked on Friday; but it was a perfect day on Wednesday, warmer; but still windy.  We didn't dress appropriately for Friday; but I did for Wednesday.  Other than that it was fabulous.  We then went to Victorville, CA to Cracker Barrel (restaurant I grew up with in MO) and we had a great fried cat fish meal.  My favorite meal ever!  We ate there twice on Wednesday.  LOL!  I told my husband that they were the best dates I had had in a very long time.  LOL! 

I created another of these Fun Fold Cards for another friend of mine.  I wanted to use the CTMH Zoe paper pack; but apparently it is a paper that is not photogenic.  It is a gorgeous paper pack in person; but my photo's did not turn out the way I wanted them to.  They look much better in person.  

See my video on how to create this Fun Fold Card at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9QYRZZnn8&t=30s

The yellow is actually a darker color on the outside and a lighter color on the inside; like the 2nd photo.  The blue is also darker on outside and lighter inside.  (All CTMH cardstock is double sided with two different colors.)



Fun Fold Card Using CTMH Zoe Paper Pack
The Colors are more pastel using the doily reverse side of Smoothie; so like a darker peach color.  The blue is a little darker on the outside and lighter on inside; and it is gorgeous.  See 3rd picture for more accurate colors.
