Encouragement Card Using CTMH Whimsy Paper Fundamentals and Conie Fong "Moonflower Lullaby"

Hello friends.  How are you doing?  It is over 100 degrees this past few days; and supposed to get to 104 and 105 in the next two days.  It is really hot.  I am ready for fall. 

I have had this image ready to color for several weeks now; and finally found time to get it done.  I am using Conie Fong "Moonflower Lullaby"; which is one of my favorites.  I love the hair on her lady images.  It is so much fun to color. I am not sure why my blusher shows up so dark; when it is a lot lighter on the card.

Be Happy Love Card Using Art by Miran digi for February Progressive Challenge

Hello friends. I hope everyone is doing well and finding time to craft.  I try to do a little each day; but sometimes it isn't possible.  We have had really hot weather, in the upper 80's; with powerful Santa Ana winds; which is really causing my husband and I major problems.  I rarely react to them like I have this year.  We are supposed to have in the 90's by Monday. Can you believe this crazy weather?  I heard some places are super cold on the East coast.  

I am back again with another beautiful card for Art by Miran February Progressive Challenge.  If you haven't been playing along in this fabulous challenge each month; you are really missing out.  Visit our Facebook group; join if you haven't already; follow the instructions to get your first image.  Once you purchase the first image at a discounted price, then you get the Art by Miran image for the next progressive challenge free.  It is a wonderful way to collect a lot of fabulous Art by Miran images.  I have been doing this for a long time and really look forward to seeing what her next wonderful creation will be.

You're Amazing Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Key To My Heart" Digi and Maja Design Fika Paper

Hello Friends.  I am back again.   I have actually felt better the past few days; so I am eagerly trying to catch up with my posting of past creations; as well as postings of new cards. I  am so excited to share with you another new digi artist that I discovered this past week.  I found three new ones that create such gorgeous digis.  I like to create with girl/lady digis; because I have a mother, two sisters, a daughter and 4 granddaughters.  And - of course lots of lady friends and other family as well.  Plus - It is so much fun creating feminine cards.  It is easier for me than creating male cards.  

This is my first time to color purple/lavender hair.  I had so much fun doing this; but I was so disappointed in the pictures.  I took 175 pictures; using both my IPhone and my husbands camera; but still poor results.  The purples and lavenders do not show up as they should.  I hope you can use your imagination.  The keys are actually a shiny silver color; but they look grey.  I changed pictures and the purple color shows up a little better now.

This card is absolutely gorgeous with the lavenders and purples; but you can't really tell here what the true colors are on the card.  Normally my IPhone takes really good pictures.  My regular camera broke; but it didn't take this color very well either.  If anyone has a camera that takes these colors accurately; please let me know. I like the small, easy to handle cameras; point and shoot. LOL!
