Birthday Card Using DS4J Golf Stuff digi and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

DT Project for Digi Stamps 4Joy  - Challenge 106 - Celebrating Something New

Hello friends.  Is everyone ready for Christmas?  I have my cards finished; but I haven't started getting them ready to send.  I had hoped to finish another cute Christmas CTMH card kit with reindeer on it; but haven't started it yet.  LOL.  There doesn't seem to be enough time to do it all.  

I started decorating my tree; but only have lights on it.  It seems I got side tracked with something else I had to do.  I guess I will get it done before Christmas.  LOL!  Does anyone else feel as if time is flying by; more so than usual.

It is time for another fabulous challenge at DS4J.  I created a birthday card for one my grandsons; who just turned 17 yrs. old.  They grow up so fast.  He loves golf; so I used DS4J Golf Stuff Digi.  While he was visiting; he bought two new golf clubs and shoes; with money he earned from us.  His mother sent me a video of him opening my card.  That was really awesome.  I can watch it over and over if I want to; and I feel like I am there with him.

Encouragement Card Using CTMH Brushed Paper and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Digi Stamps 4 Joy New Release

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  It rained for almost a week; but I  think it  may be over now.  We either have no rain or lots of rain, causing flooding and land slides.  

My mother has been in the hospital in MO for a week with her heart, Cellulitis and other health problems.  My sister Becky stayed over from Thanksgiving to help my other sister Alice in staying with her; but Becky had to go back to work.  I hope and pray she gets better soon.   I can't make a trip there right now due to my own health; so I feel really sad about all of this.  I have been on the phone a lot this past week; talking to mom's nurses, my sisters and the Dr. It is so hard not being there; but I have to trust that she will get well soon.  

It is time for another new release of digis at DS4J.  I chose to merge a previous release "DS4J First Snow Dawn (Pre-colored by Jen) with one of the new releases "DS4J Storm Lantern".  I love both of these and thought they went very well together.
