Birthday Card Using Ching Chou Kuik Star Wish

Hi Friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I have been exhausted since returning from MO. It has been so hot here; and the heat really bothers me.  I will be glad when it cools off.  I am trying to get more exercise; but it is so hot that I feel worse after I take my walks or ride my bike.  It seems cooler when I start out in the morning; but it warms a lot - very quickly, while I am out there.

I am so excited to announce that I am now part of the Ching-Chou Kuik (CCK) Blog DT!  I have been waiting for about 3 years to be part of this fabulous team.  It means so much to me to be able to create with her fabulous digital stamps.  I own almost all of them; and haven't had the time to use them like I would want to do.  Now, I can use a lot more of them than I was doing.  LOL!  

It is time for another fabulous challenge at Ching-Chou Kuik (CCK) Use Your Favorite Color.  I bet you can't guess my favorite color.  LOL!  I am using a new image Ching Chou Kuik Star Wish; which I loved the minute I saw it.  What a perfect challenge to start my DT assignment.

Get Well Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy and DS4J "Thinking About You" Digi

DT Project for Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 97  Black and White

Hello to everyone reading this post.  Thanks so much for dropping by my blog.  I created this card for my brother in law.  I saw this spotted dog and had to use him on something!  LOL!  DS4J have such awesome digital stamps.  I don't know how I created before I found digital stamps.  I guess I used mostly CTMH Clear acrylix stamps.  Now I combine them to get the best of both worlds.  I know I am completely spoiled.  

You still have time to enter in the Digi Stamps 4 Joy  - Challenge 97  Black and White.   I love black and white cards.  I think they look awesome.  Be sure to check out both DT teams.  Mine is on the Mid-Challenge DS4J team; but both teams have created some really gorgeous cards.  I used a border on the front and inside; with black behind it.  It doesn't look like the border I used; because I used patterned paper.   I never realized how it looked until I went to do the post.  I had forgotten to write down the border I used.  I pulled up the design on my Cricut Explore; or I would never have figured it out.  LOL!
