Christmas Ornament Using Conie Fong Christmas Nutcracker Soldier

 Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  It is cooler here in Southern CA; but the worst part is the Santa Anna Winds.  It sounds like a hurricane out there.  We have a gigantic pine tree that the city is supposed to trim but two have fallen on our street, destroying property, etc.  They don't even bother coming out to clean it up; or clear the street that is completely blocked when that happens.  The neighbors have had to do it.  I worry about it falling on our house.  If it does, it would land on me upstairs in the crafty room.

I have been creating Christmas ornaments for my great grandkids.  This is another one using Conie Fong Christmas Nutcracker Ensemble Bundle - The Soldier.  They are so cute.

Sympathy Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello all you beautiful people.  The weather has still been warm here.  It has been a tough few weeks. My sister-in-law passed away in MO last Thursday during the night and her funeral was Wednesday. I wasn't able to attend due to my allergies.  I used the time to work on Sympathy cards for my brother and his family.

I created this card for my brother, Buddy.  I saw one on Pinterest; but it noted google.com; so unable to find who created it.  I think I have created a card similar to this before; but I love this card layout.

Friend Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi everyone!! It is already feeling like summer here in Southern CA.  I think I saw on the news that everyone is having a heat wave here in the US.  I hope everyone is doing well and taking time to create.  I love reading and following my followers blogs.  All of you are so creative!!  I created this card for fun using the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge.  This stamp set is a retired CTMH "Find Your Style".  I love it and bought it from another consultant who had several left over.  It was sold before I joined CTMH.  I thought the title was appropriate for the paper I chose.  This is my first time to create a 6 x 6 card.

Sketch # 69 - Papertake Weekly Challenge

Close up with butterfly and Friend stamp.

Supplies used for this card:

Base card is 6 x 6
