NEW Whimsy Art by Miran Fairy Fiona

Hello friends.  How is everyone doing?  Are you having a good summer?  Are the kids back to school?  I have been very busy crafting and trying to stay cool in Southern CA.  I will be glad when it is fall; so we can cool down.  

It is time for another fabulous Whimsy Stamp release.  I am using the new release Whimsy Art by Miran Fairy Fiona rubber stamp.  I decided to create a shaped card; since I haven't done one in a very long time.  

As You Like It Challenge - Favorite papers and Why.  My favorites are CTMH papers.  I used Adventure Paper Fundamentals and Adventure Cardstock on this card.

Birthday Card Using Art By Miran Haylee

Hi friends.  How is everyone doing?  I hope you are having a fabulous summer.   It has been a busy couple months.  I won a Guest Designer Position with Art By Miran for June 18th.  I am so excited and happy to create with these digis.  They are fabulous!   I own a lot of them; but I find there are always more that I don't have.  This one is fairly new; so I was very happy to be able to use it for this GDT.

I was having a little trouble with my Creative Mojo; but maybe I found it again.  It turned out pretty good.  I didn't want to add too much to it; so you could see the gorgeous paper.  I used it inside as well.  I tried the butterfly two different ways and like the outside butterfly best.  The glitter for the inside one covered up the color too much.

I am entering this card in the Path of Positivity.  One of the things that makes me feel really happy is swinging on a swing and flowers.  I think this picture points to happiness.  Isn't she a precious image?  Happiness is in the little things; so take time to stop and smell the flowers, swing every chance you get and watch the gorgeous butterflies!  I go to the park and swing as often as I can.  It isn't just for kids.

Mother's Day Card Using Imagine That Teacup Pansies and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is having a great month of May.  It should be warming up, at least in the US.  I think it is winter in other parts of the world.   We will be on vacation soon; so if you don't see me on here for a few weeks; don't worry.  I will be back when my daughter and 3 grandkids fly back to MO; after their visit in June.  I am so excited!  I can hardly wait to see my family!  I am so ready to leave right now!  LOL!  I miss my mother and all of my family so much!  It is such a challenge to live so far away from them; but CA is where I need to be at this time in my life.  

I created another card for my mother using this awesome Imagine That! Digis by Kris - Teacup Pansies.  I used the pre-colored image and the sentiment on the outside.  Kris does such a fabulous job in creating her awesome digis.  Be sure to check out the Imagine That Progressive Challenge each month on her blog.  Purchase the current month's digi on her website (at a discount); create a card with it; enter into her challenge and you will receive the next month's image free.  It always includes black and white images and colored ones too; plus sentiments.  It is so fun to create with her designs.  She has two to choose from for this month; so everyone who entered last month received both sets of images for this month.

Imagine That! Digis by Kris - Teacup Pansies

The blue flowers are really two shades of purple; but camera turns it blue.
Oops!  Looks like one of the purple bling fell off the butterfly.  I don't have time to retake it.
