Happy Birthday

Hello friends!  I hope you are taking time to do something fun.  It has been so hot here that it is impossible to go outside to do anything but walk to the car.  And it is so hot even riding in the car.  My favorite times are Spring and Fall when the weather is cooler.  I do love the sunshine; but this heat is crazy!  It is worse than I ever remember it for August; and September is normally our hottest month here in Southern CA.

I created a lot of cards for my sister Alice and I also created some of the same or similar cards for me at the same time.  This is one that I created using these fabulous digital papers from Anne Constantly-Carding; who also has a blog challenge each month for A Perfect Time To Craft.  Anne gifted me with my choice of her digital papers and clip art to match, when I helped her during a rough patch with her health.  I chose this set; as it has so many fabulous flower arrangements.

CTMH is out of business now; so my part as a CTMH consultant ended April 30, 2024.  I will continue using their products for as long as I have supplies.  They are still my favorite products and I will always have a place for them in my crafting and in my heart.
