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.
