I am not allowed to ship CTMH products outside the US; but I have free Digi stamps to be given to any name I draw that is outside the US.  Please place a 1 behind your name when you register if you live outside US.  This will make it easier when I do the drawings to know who gets Digi Stamps and who gets CTMH products.  Thanks for your understanding. 

I am also having a separate drawing for $25 FREE CTMH products for everyone who orders at least $50 from my CTMH website in every month if I have at least 5 orders.  This includes orders for the NEW Cricut Artbooking Collection.  You can order on my website to qualify at http://purpleglocreations.ctmh.com.  See the Specials tab at the top of my blog for all of this month's specials. 

I have 6 fabulous sponsors so far that have generously donated Digi stamps or gift certificates so that I can share the love to all my followers and not just the US.  I am very grateful for their generosity.  Be sure to check out their stores and blogs for a wonderful selection of Digis.  Thanks so much sponsors for your wonderful support.

Birthday Card Using CTMH Avonlea Paper Pack With Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #67 - Anything With Wings

Hi to everyone.  I hope you are having a fabulous day!  The weather has been nice in Southern CA; but starting to get hot again.  I have been trying to get back into my normal routine after vacation; but everyone knows how hard that is to do.  I am waiting anxiously for my daughter to close on her house; which is scheduled for Monday.  I wish I could be there to help her move.  She is going to have her hands full with 4 kids, 3 dogs and 1 cat.  Their furniture and all their belongings are in a storage unit right now because the closing was delayed 2 weeks ago when they sold their current home.  I am so excited for her and her family.

 

It is time for another fabulous challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner #67 - Anything With Wings.  Be sure to check out the other creations and join the fun by entering our challenge.  If you would like to have a chance at the Guest Designer spot for a week; just add GDT behind your name when you enter.  Our sponsors this week are Eureka Stamps and Kenny K.  They have incredible Digi Stamps; so be sure to check out their stores.

 

I chose Kenny K Devilish Donna Precolored for my image this week.  I love this image and had to use it when I saw it.  I had a challenge with creating my card this week due to creator's block; which hasn't happened to me for a while.  You can get Devilish Donna with and without color.  I love having that option because you can use either one that suits your mood.  I decided to use all Digi sentiments inside and outside my card this time; and the best part is they were FREE from Hannelie at Desert Diva.  Check out her blog for more wonderful free Digi sentiments.

Get Well Card For Mojo Monday Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi all you wonderful crafters and followers.  I hope you are having a great day.  It has cooled off a little for a few days in Southern California; so I am trying to enjoy the weather.  It will be hot again in a few days.  I am recovering from my bicycle wreck and actually rode my bike again today.  My knee is still stiff and I have a bruise halfway down my leg; but it is getting better.  I had to get back on my bike again or allow the fear to get the better of me. 

 

I created a card for a child in the Shriner's Children's Hospital.  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 girl is a digital stamp from Bodilsscrapeverden blogspot. Isn't she adorable?  I love the digi stamps that are already colored.  Makes it quick and easy to use them.  The turtle is a free digi stamp from Birdscards.com. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday 255.
