Sympathy Card Using CTMH Magical Paper and Art by Miran Sunflower Sara

Hello friends!  How is your summer going?  It is still very hot in Southern CA.  I would love to be able to go outside and walk or ride my bike; but the heat makes me sick.  I wish there was a place to live that had the perfect climate all year long.  Maybe I need to do some research to find that place.  LOL!  

It is time for another fabulous Art by Miran Facebook Anything Goes Challenge; with an option for "Back To School or School Colors".  I am not sure which school has these colors; but there is one for sure.  LOL!  Isn't this a precious image?  I fell in love with her as soon as I saw it.  She looks so happy and cheerful, and proud of herself for picking that flower.  LOL!

I rarely use red; but this one called to me.  The paper pack is Close To My Heart Magical; which is retiring August 31st.  If you want it; get it right away.  Check the retiring products here and the clearance items here.  

As You Like It Challenge - I like square 6 x 6 sized cards the best; because they seem to give me more room to work with.  They also work better for challenges when you link them. Your entire card shows when linking; rather than a small part of it.  LOL!

Birthday Card Using Art by Miran digi with CTMH Magical Paper Pack

Hello friends.  Is anything new happening in your life that you would like to share here? Life is never dull at my house and sometimes I would love for it to be quiet and without drama. LOL!  I  guess when you have ferrel cats; there are no dull moments.  They make me happy just to see these sweet kittens playing in my yard; but mom keeps moving them; which then makes me sad.  

It is time for another Art by Miran Progressive Challenge on Facebook; and we have such a fabulous new digi provided to us FREE from Art by Miran.  If you haven't participate in these monthly challenges; you are really missing out.  Mi Ran Jung creates a new digi each month.  All you have to do is buy the first image at a very reduced price; create something with it; enter it online on Facebook Group page and then the next month and every month after; you will be able to request the next new image free.  You do have to enter each month to get the next one free. It is such a fabulous way to build your Digi collection and Art by Miran's images are gorgeous!  

I decided to create a side step card using the July Progressive Challenge image.  Isn't she adorable?!  I created a lot of these side step cards for a while and then I started creating mostly 6 x 6 cards.  I stopped decorating the inside; because you can say it all on the outside. Plus it took too long to do the inside as well.
