Friend Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi everyone!! It is already feeling like summer here in Southern CA.  I think I saw on the news that everyone is having a heat wave here in the US.  I hope everyone is doing well and taking time to create.  I love reading and following my followers blogs.  All of you are so creative!!  I created this card for fun using the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge.  This stamp set is a retired CTMH "Find Your Style".  I love it and bought it from another consultant who had several left over.  It was sold before I joined CTMH.  I thought the title was appropriate for the paper I chose.  This is my first time to create a 6 x 6 card.

Mojo Monday - Friend Card using Dotty For You Paper

Hi all you wonderful bloggers out there!! I felt creative yesterday; so I created a friend a card.  I had purchased a retired stamp set from another consultant and wanted to use it.  I am in love with this stamp set.  This is the first card I have created in a long time without using my Cricut.  I didn't realize I could still do that.  Ha!!  This one was an easy one with Mojo Monday.  I love their sketches. 

I didn't get enough ink on my stamp; but I didn't have time to do it over.  I love CTMH stamps; because the words are so clear even without the proper amount of ink.  The butterfly is supposed to be different shades; but I may not have gotten enough ink on it either.  I did the best I could with the short amount of time I had to create it.
