Happy Birthday Butterflies Using Anna Griffin Products

Hello friends!  How are you?  It is another hot day in Southern CA.  I didn't walk yesterday or today.  It is getting a lot warmer in the mornings; but some days I don't sleep well.  I know a lot of people who sleep better as they get older; but I am not one of them.  Lol!  

I created this card using Anna Griffin products I have in my stash.  I own a lot of crafting/cardmaking supplies that I have not used.  This set of card fronts is gorgeous; so I need to use more of them.  The card base and red layer is also from Anna Griffin.  I have been practicing using things outside my comfort zone; which card fronts has been one of them.  Yes, I bought them; but it felt like cheating when I used anything I haven't colored.  Lol!  I have learned that creativity doesn't have to involve creating/coloring everything that you use.  It is still your card when you create it; whether you color it or someone else does.

Happy Birthday Card with Butterfly

Hello friends!   It is upper 90s here in Southern CA,   I hope everyone is doing well.  It is too hot to do anything outside.  

I created this card for a good friend of mine, Sue.  I will wait till after she gets it to post it.  I doubt she is on the computer much; with taking care of her granddaughter full time.  

I love these papers and just started trying to use papers I had bought that were not CTMH.  I love gorgeous papers and have been hoarding them for years.  Now, I am trying to create cards for myself and both of my sisters.  I have been creating cards for Alice to give to her friends for the past year and I just sent my sister Becky, a set of 17 cards in Nov or Dec.
