Birthday Card Using Art by Miran Theophilia for Challenge 70

Hello friends!  How is everyone doing?  I am trying to get caught up with my DT cards; so I have been super busy.  Plus unpacking and washing all the clothes we used for vacation.  LOL!  Taking a two week vacation really put me behind; but I am so glad I was able to go and enjoy it this year.  

It is time for another Art by Miran Anything Goes Challenge 70 on her blog.  I am a little slow in getting this image colored.  I had it printed for a while; on the gorgeous digi paper created by Tracy Wray - "On The Orient".  Tracy creates a set of digi papers and gives them free to all the Art by Miran Facebook followers. The Chinese symbol near the tree on the top right corner is "Love".  I used the same paper on the inside of the card.  I thought it was a perfect paper for this fabulous image called Art by Miran Theophilia. 

As You Like It - Old or New Stash and why?  I like both.  If I have something new; it is very exciting to use it for the first time.  It is also exciting to be looking through your old stash and find something you forgot you had; and then use it.

Hi friends!  Where have you been for vacation this year?  What did you do for fun this summer?  Are you getting time to craft?  I am hoping to go on vacation sometime soon; but still not sure of the date.  We have wanted to do a driving vacation for several years; but it hasn't worked out.  I hope this year is different.

It's time for my Inspiration Post for Ching-Chou Kuik.  I have created a card using this gorgeous image - Ching-Chou Kuik Radiant Soul.  I love her!  I hope you will take the time to join our September challenge on our Ching-Chou Kuik (CCK) blog.  We also have challenges on our CCK Facebook group, as well.

As You Like It - Favorite Song & Why?  Another favorite song of mine is "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle.  It makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.  I remember those butterfly kisses from all three of my children and from some of my grandchildren as well. Those butterfly kisses have meant so much to me over the years; especially as I get older. I still remember them to this day.

Birthday Card Using CTMH Sophia Paper and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

DT Project for Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 87 - A Birthday Sentiment

Hi all of you fabulous crafters/creators/readers!  I think it is warming up across the US.  I so hope everyone is having a great Spring.  We lost an hour today when we changed to Daylight Savings.  I have been stuck inside; due to an ongoing migraine.  Nothing seems to help it.  I took most of the day off the computer on Sunday; thinking maybe it would help; but finally gave up and decided to get my post ready for Tuesday night.

You have another week to enter Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 87 - A Birthday Sentiment.    That should be an easy one for everyone.  I decided to use DS4J Mila Picking Lavender Coloured; which is just adorable.   These are shades of pink; in case the picture appears orange.  I took 300 pictures before I finally got it right on my Iphone.  I didn't realize I had taken that many until I downloaded all of them.  LOL!  I love anything pinks/purples. I try to use other colors too; but those will always remain my favorites.  

I am entering this card in the Path of Positivity Challenge - Thoughtfulness.  Be sure to check it out. Lisa has a fabulous blog and a great Design Team.  Their creations are so gorgeous!  One of the definitions on the Internet for "Thoughtfulness" - "Having or showing heed for the well-being or happiness of others and a propensity for anticipating their needs or wishes."  Isn't this one of the main reasons we create cards? We want to share our creativity and let others know we are thinking of them; whether it is a birthday, anniversary, holiday card or a Thinking Of You card.  I try to create cards that either fit the person's personality or ones that I know will bring them great joy!   My cards normally let me know who they are going to before I finish them; but this one I am not completely sure of yet.  I think it goes to one of my granddaughters; but we will see when the time is right to give it away.   I created it with a lot of love and thoughtfulness for just the right person to receive it when the time is right.

I sent my daughter and her family the Polar Bear Thinking of You Love card; my mother the blue Mother's Day card; (I didn't want to wait till Mother's Day.  I believe it can be given any day of the year.) and my sister, Alice the Thinking Of You card; which they all received and loved.  These cards made them feel very special; which they are very special to me.  They all live in MO; so I only see them once a year.  It is important that I let them know how much I love them as often as I can.  I do this with phone calls and creating cards they will love.

Don't forget to check out the monthly DS4J Christmas Card Challenge and create yours early this year.  You have till the end of the month to request the free Digi.  After you use it; you will automatically receive the next months free.  Have fun.
