Birthday Card Using CTMH No Worries Paper and Cricut Artbooking Cartridge

Hello friends.  I hope you are all doing well and finding time to craft.  It is super hot in Southern CA; so I am staying indoors as much as possible.  I hope it is cooler where you are.  It was 110 degrees for a few days in a row now.  I feel really bad for my feral cats.  It is so hot outside.

It is my turn for another Inspiration Post; and we are all using the same image this week.  Our image is Ching-Chou Kuik "The Tender Angie"; which is another gorgeous mermaid I don't think I have ever used.  We would love to see your gorgeous creations in the July Monthly Challenge; with the topic as Monochrome.  I love the challenge of creating all one color family.  This one wasn't created for that challenge; so I was able to use a few other colors with it. LOL!

Birthday Card Using Conie Fong Summer Blossoms with CTMH Little Dreamer Paper

Hello friends!  It has been super hot here in Southern CA; but it's going to get over 100 today.  I can remember that CA used to be cooler than this; and that it rarely got above 80's.  I wonder what happened to all of that cooler weather.

It is time for another Conie Fong New Release.  Isn't she lovely?  Oh my!  I lose my heart to every new digi stamp that Conie Fong creates.  How can a person resist such beauty?  Conie has outdone herself this time; as she has three different images.  Click here to see all three new images; for a special price.  They are Summer Blossoms (see below), Summer Dreams and Summer Bride.

A few days ago, my husband asked me if I ever get tired of creating with young girls/ladies all the time.  I don't get tired of it; because all of them look/feel so different to me; and it feels like they come alive while I am creating them.  It's like magic happens; whenever I start to color them and then add them to a card. If you create cards with digis; then you too understand what I am saying.

Birthday Card Using Conie Fong Birthday Benny and CTMH Paper

Hello friends.  How are you?  I hope everyone is having time to craft.  It is nice to be able to create something for someone you love.  

I am very excited to announce that I am now part of Conie Fong Facebook Design Team.  I wanted to be on her team when she started Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook group last year; but I was already committed to two teams; and couldn't handle any additional teams.  I will be the Facebook Coordinator; which makes me really happy.  We have a fabulous group of ladies on the DT; who are so excited about sharing Conie Fong's fabulous digis.  

Take time to visit Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook group and click to join.  We would love to have you join us.  She has coupons, specials, challenges with prizes and a chance for her members to receive free digis.  I hope to see all of you there.  

I created this adorable card for my first Conie Fong DT post; using Conie Fong "Birthday Benny" for my Great Grandson who is turning one year old in April. I bought this paper to create a baby card for his birth; but I ended up being there for his birth and never had a chance to send a card.  I decided to get it out and use it for his first birthday.  I just love this little elephant paper from Close To My Heart; which is retired now.
