Hello Beautiful Card Using Mariola Budek Art "Gift for the Squirrel"

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  Thank you so much for following my blog.  I love coloring and creating; so I do my best to share my creations with you.  

I colored this new image that I purchased before vacation and created a card with it.  It is an artist I have bought from before; but have not colored any of her images before now.  I always felt like the people coloring her images are so much more gifted than me; so I was afraid to try coloring one of them.  Lol!  

I used Mariola Budek Art Gift for the Squirrel; which I think is such an adorable image.  I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.  I hope the link works; as my computer was acting up and did not allow me to link it.  Very strange.  She has a lot of fabulous images; and they were very easy to color at the size I needed for a card.

Thankful Card Using CTMH Woodland Friends Stamp & Thin Cuts Z3756

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  It has gotten hot here in Southern CA.  I hope it is cooler where you are.  

I have been taking some time to create a few cards.  I bought the CTMH Woodland Friends stamp and thin cuts Z3756, then sold it because I had not used it yet; then bought it again.  LOL!  

I normally air all my crafting supplies out in a closed bedroom with 3 diffusers and then record them on an Excel spreadsheet and store them in plastic drawers.  LOL!  That has not been working well.  

I decided to purchase 2 of our CTMH Acrylix Stamp organizers recently (Z1038).  (I use them for many other things.)  I plan to use one of them for new stamps that I had not used and the other container for a place to keep the ones I use a lot; like the sentiment stamps.  I just started doing this; so I hope it helps me to remember that I have them.  I plan to keep these 2 containers under my crafting table so I can see them, to remind me to check which stamps have not been used.

Click here for my new CTMH 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.
