Birthday Card Using CTMH Cape Cod Cardmaking Stamp Set with CTMH Buildable Tags

Hello friends! I hope all of you are doing well.  I know some of you had a Tropical Storm come through the US; caused by Hurricane Hilary; which also hit Southern CA.  It did a lot of damage to some areas near us. We just had a lot of tree limbs break, due to the heavy rains and some areas flooded; but there were areas hit much worse than us, including the desert area and other places in the path of the storm.  

Southern CA also had a 5.1 Earthquake in the middle of the Tropical Storm also hitting our area.  The Earthquake was about 60 miles from us and it shook the house and everything in it.  It was a scary time.  I hate Earthquakes and Hurricanes both.  I came to Southern CA to get away from the Hurricanes in Florida; and this is the first one we have had since I have been here in over 25 yrs.  

I created this card during the storm.  I love this stamp set that creates the sky, ocean and the sand with 3 different stamps.  It looks so real to me.  I love the ocean; but haven't been for a while.  I realized that I am almost out of birthday cards; and this one could be used for male or female.  I wanted to make it with a window looking out at the ocean scene.

I added CTMH Workspace Wonder products to my desk a few years ago; and I was not able to use my video recorder on my desk after I did that.  It took me a long time to finally come up with a way to do videos with that same recorder; but on a different arm/holder.  Thanks for your patience.

Hello Card Using CTMH Cape Cod Cardmaking Workshop Kit

Hello friends!  I hope you are all doing well.  My knee that has the Meniscus tear got worse again.  I tried to walk around on Saturday at a store for about 20 min. without my knee brace on.  I thought I could just hold on a shopping cart and walk around.  I am not able to wear my knee brace over or under clothing; so I went without it.  Big mistake.  I wear my knee brace at home; but I dress differently when staying home all the time.  LOL!  I didn't realize it would make it start hurting by walking.  My knee has been doing very well up until Saturday night and Sunday.  It is even worse today than it was yesterday.

I missed out on this CTMH Cape Cod Cardmaking Workshop Kit G1284 the first time it came out; so I just got it a few days ago.  It looks like there are only a few left in stock.  It is very popular.  I love it.  

I have other shell stamps and thin cuts; but this is thin cuts (no stamp needed for the shells) with cut outs and imprints; so they actually look more real than the others I have.  I also bought the Cape Cod Digital Art Collection X7294F and a pack of the Cape Cod Paper with Stickers X7294S.  They ran out of the Cape Cod special embellishments.  I know better than to wait if I want something; but I was undecided at first.  I am very good at talking myself out of things.  This stamp set is wonderful with this card kit.  That was the main thing that drew me to it.
