Friend Card As Center Step Card Using Cricut Artiste and Art Philosophy Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #52 - Red And Green Plus A Ribbon.

Hello.  I hope everyone is doing well and taking time to create!!  The weather has been beautiful here in Southern CA; which makes me feel a little guilty because so many are having horrible weather.  I hope everyone drives safe and stays warm wherever you are. 

This is the last week of my Mother's visit as she will be flying home on March 10th.  She has been here for almost 2 months and in some ways it seems like just yesterday that she arrived.  Part of me wants her to stay and part of me needs a break from so much responsibility of another person.  She has a great life in MO with family and friends there; so I know she wants to go home.  It just feels like we never have enough time together when she is here.

It's another fabulous week for Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge #52 - Theme Red and Green plus a Ribbon.  Our sponsors for this challenge are QKR Stampede.  Our Guest DT this week is Dayana Marin.  Visit her blog to see her beautiful creations.  If you would like to be considered as a Guest Designer; please add GDT behind your name when you enter our challenge. 

I chose QKR Stampede digi "Picking Flowers" for my image on this card.  I had a lot of fun with this card.  I wanted to punch the edges; but it almost broke my punch trying to punch through two layers of cardstock/paper.  The free top inside sentiment is from Hannelie Desert Diva blog and the bottom free inside sentiment is unknown from an Internet search.  Here is the link for tutorial for Center Step Card.

Hi all you wonderful people!!  I hope everyone is having a great life and finding time to create.
 
I created these Thank you cards over a month ago; but haven't had time to post them on my blog.  I hope you enjoy them.  I used the Dotty For You Paper packet that we had early last year; which is now retired.  I love this paper and wanted to use it for my Thank your cards.  I love the dragonfly found on the Cricut Art Philosophy.  I use these two cartridges as my main cartridges and there is always one of them in my Cricut.  If you haven't checked them out; I would highly recommend it.  They are the best two cartridges I have found for the Cricut.

Thank You Card Using Paper Piecing With CTMH Chantilly Paper

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #51 - Paper Piecing.

Hi to everyone!  I hope you are keeping warm.  There is some nasty weather out there this week and many people have had huge snow storms.  Stay safe and keep warm.  Maybe you can miss work and do some much needed crafting.  :)
 
My mom and I spent an entire day at Disney last Friday.  I pushed her around for about 9 hrs in a wheelchair and found I had more muscles than I was aware of having.  LOL.  We had a great time and rode a lot of kids rides.  She has a heart condition; so we couldn't ride anything too exciting.  LOL!!  This is the first time I have seen the parade at the end of the evening and it was really good.  It was a very busy day!!
 
This is another exciting week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #51 - Paper Piecing.  This weeks sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps. They have such wonderful digital stamps.  I hope you will try this challenge; even if you have never done it before. 

We are so excited to have two Guest Designers this week.  The first GDT is Trudy Thomas and the second GDT is Dayan Marin.  Please click their name to see their blog and beautiful creations.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; please put GDT behind your name with your entry.  Good luck to everyone and keep trying if you aren't selected the first time. 
 
This is my first time to do paper piecing and it was a major challenge for someone who has trouble cutting things out by hand.  If I could have used my Cricut; it would have been easier for me.  LOL!!  I chose Bugaboo Flower Pot 1 for my image.  I used the new CTMH Chantilly paper packet.
