All Occasion Card Using CTMH Butterfly Slimline Embossing Folder With Stencils

Hello friends!   How are you?  I have been having problems with my left knee, and have had a challenge trying to walk. The MRI machine broke last Sunday on Mother's Day, once they tried to roll me into it.  LOL!  They spent an hour with me lying there trying to get it to work.  I went back today and the MRI was completed.  I just have to wait for the results.  

This is the 2nd card I created during the night when I couldn't sleep.  I start them during the night and finish them later, in the daytime.  LOL!  I had never thought about using an Embossing Folder for a regular card; but I saw other people doing it; so I tried it with this gorgeous CTMH Butterfly Slimline Embossing Folder and Stencils Z4698.  I thought it turned out pretty good.

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.

Hello Gorgeous CTMH Little Stinkers Stamp Of The Month S2305

Hello friends!  I hope you are taking time to do something fun.  It is already hot here in Southern CA.  I hate to see what the weather is like this summer.  

I have been having issues with my Crafting Mojo; but I finally got it to work during the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.  LOL! I managed to get 2 cards created during two different nights.  We have a visitor to our yard, that loves to leave her smell regularly.  I have seen her a few times and she is really gorgeous!  I thought of her beauty when I saw this cute CTMH Little Stinkers SOTM; so I had to make a card using my new CTMH  "Hello Gorgeous" stamp set as well.  

I have never seen a Skunk as gorgeous as the one we have as a regular visitor.  I have seen her playing with another skunk that I assume is male; but she has also been here with little ones that are smaller than her.  We live in the city; so I am really surprised at the animals I see in our yard.  I grew up in the country and saw animals all the time; but I didn't expect them in the city.

CTMH has a video to demonstrate this CTMH Irresistibles Cardstock and the Alphabet also.
