Friend Card Using CTMH Pemberley Paper, Cricut Artbooking and DS4J Congo Drums, Sitting Pretty

New Releases for DS4J 


Hi Blogland!  I have had 3 days migraine free; so I am very excited.  That may sound strange to some of you who don't have migraines; but it is a very big deal for me.  I think having a craft room full of plastic smells, new papers, cardstock and new stamp sets; have all been causing me to have headaches and brain fog.  

I moved all of the items that have an odor into another room; which can only be temporary.  I can't leave them there; because it is my step-sons room.  I tried airing them outside; but they picked up barbecue smells.  My husband tried cleaning the plastic with fresh lemons; but that was only a temporary fix.  Now; I am running two diffusers with a pure oil in that room; hoping to change the plastic smells.  It seems to be helping.  I have to do a group at a time of the stamp sets; so this is going to take me a while.  I also have a diffuser going in my craft room while I am in the room. 

It is time for Digi Stamps 4 Joy New Release of Digi Stamps.  DS4J has new releases every Sunday on the DS4J blog; so be sure to check them out.  I have used two of the new release stamps and merged them into one Digi scene.  I thought they looked good together.  I am using "Conga Drums" and "Sitting Pretty".   

I am entering this card in Path Of Positivity Challenge - Happiness.  What could be more happy than making music.  It is a way to celebrate who we are and makes others feel good to hear it.

Birthday Card Using CTMH Balloon Ride Paper and Delicious Doodles "Blossom"

DT Project for The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 71 - Use Something Metal

Hi all of blogland!  I hope you are doing well and enjoying the spring weather; for those in US.  I heard it is snowing in Africa; but I hope you can still get time to enjoy yourselves; maybe just indoors.  

Please continue to pray for my brother in law Darrell.  He started high dose chemo on June 6th; which he had for 3 days.  Then, his stem cell transplant was on June 11th.  It really is hard on a person's body to go through this; and this is his second time; with just 10 days between rounds.  Also; please pray for my sister Becky; as this is very difficult for her.  She is at his bedside all the time; and trying to work on her computer to get her 40 hrs. a week in for her job.  Thanks so much for your prayers in the past.  You are all appreciated so much.

It is time for another fabulous challenge at The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 71 - Use Something Metal.  Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles.  They have some fabulous Digi stamps; and I own several of them.  I hope you enjoy my creation using Delicious Doodles "Blossom". Isn't she gorgeous!  Check out the inside.  I thought that sentiment went really well; with the title of the Digi.  LOL!

I am entering this card in the Path Of Positivity Challenge - Happiness.  This image makes me smile. I believe taking time to smell the flowers and watching a butterfly, is a sheer sign of happiness.  I love watching butterflies; and I create a lot of cards using them.  They make me happy just adding them to my cards.  I hope the person receiving one of my cards will feel "Happiness" when they see them. Spending time to create someone a card brings me happiness.  Just the act of giving to another person; normally brings "Happiness" to the person giving as well as the person receiving.   One of the things I have always been told; is that if you feel down; do something for another person; and that will uplift you.  It certainly does for me.

CTMH Retirement List Available! While Supplies Last!

Hello friends.  Many of you may not be aware that the new CTMH Idea Book will be available August 1st; and this one will be for one year.  (Not the traditional 6 months.)  We will have two supplemental catalogs to go with this bigger Idea Book.  It will have a lot of new products in it.  

We were notified yesterday of the products that are retiring and are only while supplies last.  Click here to see all the retiring products. http://purpleglocreations.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=18

There are five colors that are retiring in the ink pads, re-inkers, cardstock and pigment ink.  The colors are Twilight, Sky, Buttercup, Creme Brulee and Blush.  If you have purchased these colors; make sure you have a re-inker for each color of ink pad.  The re-inkers last several times of re-inking and are a great buy.  I have never had a CTMH ink pad dry out in my two years with the company.  I highly recommend them.  

There are several stamp sets retiring and many accessories.  Stock up while you can get them.  We had nothing left over to add to the "While Supplies Last" list on the last Idea Book; so I would get them soon.  
Be sure to register for my CTMH Two Year Anniversary and 550 Followers by clicking on this link. http://purpleglocreations.blogspot.com/2014/05/celebrating-two-years-as-ctmh.html

I would love to have you post my badge for the drawing on your blog and link it to my link right above this sentence.  My goal is to reach 700 followers.   Thanks so much to all of you for a fabulous 2 yrs. (in March 2014).




All of your purchases count towards the June Special; where you choose one gift collection (Retail up to $65) for only $30 with each $50 purchase.  Fabulous products.  Get yours now before they run out!
