Inspirational Card Using DS4J "Bathroom Selfie" Digi

DS4J Sunday New Release

Hello!  I started to say "Good Morning"; (It will be evening here when this post goes live.) but I realized many of you are on different time zones.  Isn't this a marvelous Internet age!  I just love the fact that I can talk to and be friends with people all around the world; even if I don't speak their language.  What a great time to be alive!  I am sure technology will continue to improve over the years and this age will be referred to the younger generation as "old style" in the future.  LOL!  

I rarely have time to participate in Digi Stamps 4 Joy Sunday New Release; but I had to this time; because of the choice of digis.  I fell in love with all of them; and had to pick one.  This one is my favorite.  I hope you love these new releases as much as I did.  If you haven't tried working with a Digi in the past; just watch some videos and jump in.  It is so much fun!  I have a couple videos at on YouTube.  Click here for the link.  I love stamping with CTMH clear acrylix stamps as well; but I love being able to combine the two.  It makes creating even better.

I used a Mojo Monday sketch; which I haven't done for quite a while either.  Normally I am working on my cards ahead of time; so I can't enter the challenges unless it is the same week.  I got lucky on this one.  I love this sketch.  It was so much fun.  I love following sketches; and had forgotten how much easier it is for me to create when I have a guide to go by.  LOL!

Inspirational Card Using Cricut Artbooking and Cricut Artiste Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #71 - Camping

 

Hi fellow crafters!  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.  I am already looking forward to vacation in Sept.  LOL!!  I hope it is a little cooler by then.  I have been ordering several of the new items in our CTMH Autumn/Winter Idea Book.  As consultants; we get to order one month before our customers order.  I feel like it is Christmas in July.  LOL!!

 

My favorite item so far is the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge.  It arrived on Thursday and I used it Friday for this card.  I was trying to stick with the theme of camping on the inside as well as the outside; even though I made it into a card of inspiration.  I think camping or being outdoors is very inspirational; so that theme seemed to fit.

 

It is time for Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #71 - Camping.  I hope you will take the time to create something for our camping theme.  Don't forget to check out the DT creations and leave them a loving comment.  They work hard every week to inspire you.  Our sponsor this week is Eureka Stamps.  I love their Digital stamps.  Be sure to click on their name to see their awesome Digis. 

Our Guest Designer this week is Bettina from Norway.  Be sure to click on her name to see more of her wonderful creations.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; please add GDT behind your name when you enter your card. 

 

I wasn't creating this card for a particular person; but my cards always seem to have a mind of their own while I am creating them.  I realized the next day that this card was for my brother-in-law.  He survived 5 years after his first diagnosis of cancer and now has a new cancer; just diagnosed a couple months ago.  He is undergoing heavy doses of chemo and not feeling as well as he usually does.  I know this has to be hard for both him and my sister; but they seem to be handling it very well.  Plus, he is working full time while having the chemo.  I would appreciate prayers for him from anyone who is willing to pray.  It would mean a lot to me knowing I have some of my fellow crafters praying.  Thanks so much.

 

I used my Cricut Artbooking cartridge for the owl and the mice inside the card.  I thought they were so adorable.  I used Eureka Stamps "Fawn" for my Digi on this card.  I love this Digi and thought it worked well with the theme.  I created another type of Side Step Card but I can't find the link now.  I used a 6 x 9 cardstock with scoring at 1, 2, 3 1/2, 5 and 7 on one side and 4 1/2 in on the opposite side.  I cut it down the middle (3 in on each side) from 1 in to 7 in.  Check out the tutorial page tab above for several side step cards.   I hope you enjoy this card.

Inspirational Card Using CTMH Dream Pop Paper and Cricut Artiste Cartridge

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #62 - Anything Goes With Ribbon And Lace

 

Hi all you fabulous crafters out there!!  I am so excited to finally create something with my gorgeous CTMH "Dream Pop" paper packet.  It is fabulous!  See information below and pictures of the colors, patterns, etc.  12 shimmering cardstock pages and 12 pattern papers. 

 

It is time for another fabulous week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge #62 - Anything Goes With Ribbon and Lace.  Our sponsors this week are A Day For Daisies and SK Digis.  Be sure to check out all the fantastic Digi stamps from our two sponsors.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; just add GDT behind your name when you enter our challenge.  It is a lot of fun and challenges you; which I believe helps us to grow.

 

I chose A Day For Daisy "Holding A Flower" Digi image; which I think is adorable.  This was a little challenging for me since I have trouble figuring out how to use lace; but ribbon and lace!!  I think my card turned out pretty good after all.  I love the bright bold colors found in CTMH "Dream Pop" paper.  The word "Beautiful" is part of one of the pages in the paper pack.
