Encouragement Card With Sketches By Carly Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hello everyone!!  I hope you are doing well and finding time to create.  I have to start getting my house ready for my husband's family coming for two weeks; so I won't be on here much after the 15th for a couple weeks.  I will miss having time to create; but will be so ready after such a long break!! 

 

It is time for another new sketch with Sketches by Carly.  Carly is a beautiful, creative, 13 year old lady who has such a fabulous talent that I feel very privileged to be part of her Design Team.  She also finds time to create digital stamps as well as her great sketches.  Check out her digital stamps at Carly's Cuties.  This sketch is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps; and they will be offering 7 free digital stamps for the winner of this weeks prize.  Be sure and create your card using Carly's sketch and join us in the fun!!

I used CTMH "Dotty For You" Paper Packet; which is retired.  I wanted to use the page with the bicycle and all the encouraging sentiments already on the paper; plus I added others to the blank spots.  I added "You're the best", "You're amazing", "Life is Good" and "You Make The World A Better Place."  They are stamped with CTMH Lagoon ink (Teal blue color).

Get Well Card for Boy Using Cricut Art Philosopy and Cricut Artiste Cartridges

Hi friends and creators!! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the summer weather.  I decided I needed to create a Boy Get Well Card to send with the Girl Get Well Card for the children at Shriner's Children's Hospital.  In case you didn't see my little girl card; I have added the same information for anyone who might be interested in helping out by making a card for these kids.

 

A little 10 yr. old boy is collecting handmade cards to deliver to the Shriner's Children's Hospital in September. He is asking anyone who is willing to create cards to send them to him by Sept. 8, 2012. For more information, visit http://www.heartmadelife.com/selflessness/ where you will find a note from his mom, a note from him with pictures and his request. It is a very touching story about a little boy who has overcome his own birth defects and wants to help other children.

I was so impressed that I decided to contribute to his cause. Check it out if you have time. There are instructions on what to create, no embellishments, glitter, etc due to these going to small children. That is why I have no embellishments on my card and no foam tape where the item could be pulled off. I already created this card before I read that they would like more encouragement cards; but hopefully this will work. I think it turned out very cute.
 

The free little boy is a digital stamp from Bodilsscrapeverden blogspot. Isn't he adorable?  The turtle is a free digi stamp from Birdscards.com. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday 255 for inspiration; but didn't make it exactly the way it was sketched.  I also didn't get it posted in time to enter into Mojo Monday; but I was inspired by their sketch; so I felt I should mention it here.
