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

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. 

Remember - Keep On Creating!!
It's Good For Your Health!!

  4. Gloria, this is such a nice card. And I really agree with you about using pre-made card fronts. I just bought some from Divinity Designs. They are outdoorsy one that I just love. We can still be creative even when using things like that. And by the way, hugs to you about your sleeping. I'm with you. Some nights I sleep so well and for so long. Other nights I'm up half the night. My daughter got me taking a tiny bit of melatonin and it helps sometimes. I hope you sleep well tonight! And thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We really appreciate you!
