Birthday Card for Male Using Pink Ink Designs Giraffe and CTMH products

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  It has already started out as a crazy year.  We have had rain 4 weeks so far (part of Dec) with only a day or two (cloudy) here and there.  It is supposed to start raining again on Friday night.  That will be 5 weeks of rain.  Monday, we received 10 inches of rain.  CA has a severe drought; but now we are flooding everywhere.  I don't think the rain will be enough to make up for the drought.

I haven't really felt like coloring or creating anything; but I had to create a card for my great - granddaughter and one for my grandson.  It took me two days to find the Giraffe stamp set I bought a few years ago; which I have never used.  It took me another two days to figure out what type of card I wanted to make.  

This is my grandsons card.  He has always loved Giraffe's but I never could figure out what to do with this set once I bought it.  LOL!  I love it and I like how it turned out.

Thank you visiting my blog.  I hope you enjoy my creations.  I appreciate all of you.  Be sure to check out my tabs at the top of the page for my videos, tutorials, clubs, specials and  more. Call, text, Facebook message or email me with any questions you might have.

Click here for my new CTMH Videos. I added CTMH Workspace Wonder products to my desk a few years ago; and I was not able to use my video recorder on my desk after I did that.  It took me a long time to finally come up with a way to do videos with that same recorder; but on a different arm/holder.  Thanks for your patience. 

Remember - Keep On Creating!!

Sending Hugs Card Using Whimsy Crittercorns Clear Stamps with CTMH products

Hello Friends!  How are you?  It is still cold here in Southern CA, at least cold for us.  The sun is shining today; and no more rain right now.  I hope you are having nice weather wherever you are. Our gas bill for our heat more than doubled from last year at this time.  We have never had a bill this high.  I think prices went up as well.  Everything in life seems higher priced right now.

I finally bought this sweet Whimsy Crittercorns Clear stamp set and the rainbow  background die which I have wanted for a while now.  I just had to have this sweet Zebra stamp.  She has wings and a unicorn horn.  Interesting for sure, right?  The stamps are much smaller than I hoped they would be.  My eyesight makes it harder to see such small images to color them; but I managed.

My mother would love this set of animals if she was still alive.  I had to buy it and create a card for one of my sisters; who also loves my cards.  I haven't sent it yet; because I really want to create another one before sending it to anyone.  LOL!
