Love Card Slimline

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  We just got home from a 2 week road trip, driving from CA to FL!  Wow!  It was insanity!  Road closures, construction, rerouting everywhere, torrential rains (couldn't see anything), winds, hail and tornados.  We had to get off the road for one tornado and took cover in a truck dealership.   It was not a very safe place; but better than the roads.  4 days to get there and 4 days to drive home; plus 6 days with family.  

Our car rental smelled like a perfume bottle; but they were all the same way!  Everything we took with us smells like that car.  We were not able to get a flight that worked for me; so that is why we drove.   I planned 3 weeks out; but all the good flights were gone by that time.  Of course, I didn't even think about it being Memorial week in the middle of our travels.  Lol!     

The best part was spending time with my daughter, her kids and my great grandkids.  We had not seen them in 5 yrs and I had to see them now.  I had never met my 4 yr old great granddaughter until then.  It was a nightmare trip and my husband had to do all the driving.  I planned to help drive; but I couldn't do it with all the insanity of the weather, road closures, construction, etc.

We stayed in hotels every night and the smells they use now are really bad for me.  Even though I planned ahead and called each one, more than once, the sprays and chemicals they used was very harmful to me.  I am still working on trying to air out and wash the smell out of everything.  I have been having a lot of trouble breathing while I was gone and now even at home.

COVID changed the world and not for the better.  More cleaners, more sprays, more chemicals, etc.  It makes it impossible for people with allergies/auto immune disorders to do anything or go anywhere.   

I have a lot of cards that I need to post; so just decided to start posting some of them. CTMH has shut down permanently; but I will continue to use their wonderful products until they run out of stock.  The double sided cardstock is at the top of my favorites list; because it cuts easily with the Cricut and you have two sides to choose with each color.   

This set was a special from last year I think; but it sold out before I got my cards created.  It was a lot of fun to create with.  I really love this heart and the DP.

Love Card Slimline Card Using CTMH Products

Hello friends!  We had rain again on Thursday and Friday all day.  There has been more rain this year than all of the 26 previous years together.  Unbelievable!  I hope everyone is doing well.  We keep having hot and then cold weather; so we never know what it will be from one day to another.  

I am feeling really down because CTMH is closing and I have not had any crafting mojo so far this month.  I have a lot of cards that I created that I haven't shared; and CTMH is selling out of a lot of items.  I got most of what I wanted before things sold out; but there were items that I would have bought if they hadn't sold out.  

Here is a card that I created last year.  I love this card and everything in the Now and Forever set.   It sold out; but I am still going to share my creations even if CTMH or the products I use are no longer available.  It has never been about selling anything.  I have always shared my love for creating cards and the products I used are an important factor to me.  I have always felt that quality products make better cards.  But, just because something retires or goes away, doesn't mean the end products are not worth mentioning.

Click here for my Videos. 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.
