All Occasion Card Using CTMH Musical Harmony Stamp & Thin Cuts

Hello Friends!  How are you?  I hope everyone is able to stay cool and enjoy your life during COVID-19.  Life has been challenging for a lot of people.  I try to stay home to stay safe.  I think about of so many of you around the world. Every country is handling it differently; but we are all in it together.  

I rarely, if ever, create Clean and Simple cards.  I may have started out that way, in the beginning. Somewhere along the way, I thought more was better.  LOL!  I have a friend, Lisa, who told me about AAA Cards Clean and Simple Challenges.  She sent me a link to join the Facebook group; which I did today.  I love the clean and simple look.  

I created a card for their challenge.  I have to say it took me longer to figure out what to do with this card; than it does to color and create one.  LOL!  I think you have to help your brain to get in a different mindset; when creating clean and simple cards.  It was hard not to add embellishments to it.  LOL!  

I used our new CTMH Musical Harmony Stamp & Thin Cuts Z3776; which includes 8 dies.  We also have the stamp set alone; for those that love to fussy cut - CTMH Musical Harmony stamp C1865

I had the front sentiment saved on my computer; but I have no idea where it came from.  The inside sentiment is from CTMH Sweet Music D1523; which is retired.  I love that one too; but you can never have enough music stamps and dies, right?

For AAA Cards clean and simple challenges - the option was to create a card based on a movie.  My first thought with this one was "Sound of Music"; but I remembered another one that it fits perfectly,"August Rush".  I couldn't remember the name of it yesterday.  It is about two people who had a child and were searching for each other for a long time. (all 3 played violin); and I won't spoil the movie. Best movie ever!  I need to watch it again.

Birthday Card for male Using Art by Miran Jammin Jayden

Art by Miran DT for Facebook Anything Goes Challenge w/option - Shaped Cards 

Hello friends!  It has been crazy weather across the US again.  I hope all of you are keeping cool and enjoying Springtime.  I am starting to feel a little better the past couple days.  It can be challenging to get back to a normal routine after losing a loved one. 

It is time for another fabulous Art by Miran Facebook Anything Goes Challenge w/option of Shaped Cards.  I love shaped cards; but rarely take the time to create one.  This month we are having our Anything Goes challenge with the option of shaped cards; so I decided to try my hand at creating one.  I thought this turned out really cute; but my little digi seems to blend in too much with the background.  LOL!  

Art by Miran named this digi - Jammin Jayden; which Jayden is one my grandson's names. I was very excited when she used one of the names I mentioned.  I haven't told Jayden about the digi yet; so it is a surprise.  He will be thrilled to know there is a digi stamp named after him and it looks exactly like him.  He loves listening to music and playing games; so I thought this card was perfect for him.  He doesn't play any instruments yet that I know of; but he might someday.  He will be turning 13 yrs old and I decided to save this digi for that birthday.  I just sent a picture of it to my daughter and she couldn't believe it!  She said "OM Goodness, that is him".  LOL!
