Birthday Card Using CTMH Chantilly and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #57 -  Recipe - 1 image, 2 dies and 3 embellishments.

Hi to all you fellow crafters.  I finally finished my tax preparation and we filed Tuesday.  It isn't usually this stressful for me; but I didn't keep up with things the way I should have.  There is a lesson to keep up on things this year so I don't have all of this stress at one time.  I hope everyone is having a fabulous week and making time to craft.
 
We have had wonderful weather here in Southern CA.  I haven't gotten out to enjoy it much; but plan to get out there soon.  I got far behind on everything while my mom was here; but it was more important to spend time with her than to clean house or keep up on mail, etc.  Now it is catch up time. 
 
It is another fabulous week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #57 -  Recipe - 1 image, 2 dies and 3 embellishments.  Have fun and take time to create something for our challenge.  We would love for you to join us this week.  Our sponsor this week is QKR Stampede.  Be sure to visit their shop and check out their blog challenges too.  They have a lot of great Digi stamps as well as rubber ones too; so you have a choice of either one or both.

Our Guest Designer this week is Julie Wells.  Be sure to check out her blog for her wonderful creations.  If you would like a chance to be a Guest Designer; please add GDT behind your name when you enter. 
 
I chose QKR Rose Label this week for my image.  I didn't realize there is also a square one like this.  I love this image and you can make it any size that you want with the Digi   I couldn't get the true colors for the purple.  This Gypsy is a gorgeous purple color; not as light as the inside picture but not as dark as the outside picture.  I didn't realize I had two different colors for the inside pink dies until after I had glued them down.  When I tried to remove; it was tearing the card; so I decided to leave it as it was.  My flower on the outside is a pretty pink fuchsia; but it looks red on this picture.

I chose SK Digis "Goldfish with sentiment"; which I love.  I have to admit I thought this one would be easy for me; but I was wrong.  This was a major challenge.  I couldn't get anything to look the way I wanted; so I when I found this ocean reef cardstock - I went with it.  I know it was sort of the easy way out; but I added to it by using the Cricut Life Is A Beach cartridge.  I hope you enjoy it.

Door Hanger Using CTMH Chantilly With Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #55 - Anything Goes But A Card.

Hi there.  This is a very special day for me.  I am celebrating my one year anniversary with Close To My Heart (CTMH)!  This past year has been an awesome experience.  I am grateful for this experience and for all of you - my customers, my followers and everyone who has supported me in blog land.  I cherish each of you.  You are a loving, supportive, kind and generous group of people.  You have given me such joy and acceptance since I joined you a year ago.  Thanks from the bottom of my heart!!  Scroll down for my free gifts and specials for the remainder of March and April to celebrate my anniversary with CTMH.

I hope all of you are having fun creating and enjoying your life.  It is another beautiful day in Southern CA.  I actually had time to spend with my husband last Sunday; which is rare.  We went to lunch and then to the beach for a walk.  It was so nice outside.  We were just talking about our whale watching trip we took several years ago and how we would like to go again.  I won a free trip for sighting the first whale that day; but we didn't go back to use the winning ticket.  While talking about it; we were blessed with a wonderful surprise - A Grey whale and over 15-20 dolphins were swimming fairly close to the shore.  This was the first time we have seen a Grey whale close up near the shore.  It was breathtaking!!  We were in awe of their beauty!  It has been a while since I saw dolphins there as well.  It reminded me that I need to take more time to enjoy nature; especially the beach.  They weren't close enough for pictures or I would show them to you.
 
It is another fabulous week for Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge 55 - Anything Goes But A Card.  Our sponsors this week are Meljen's Designs, Bugaboo Stamps and SkDigis.  I hope you will take time to enter our challenge this week.  Be sure to check out all the wonderful creations by our Design team.  Our Guest Designer this week is Chrissy.  Check out her blog as well.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; please add GDT behind your name when you enter the challenge.  Good luck to everyone who enters. 
 
I chose Meljen's Designs "Fancy Butterfly" for my image this week.  I had a challenge with this one since I normally create cards and scrapbook pages.  This is my first time to create something else.  It was fun.  I changed my mind about six times before finally making this door hanger for my granddaughter's birthday.  I didn't cut the slit in it yet.  I decided to wait and let her mother do that in case she wants to hang it somewhere else.  I am sure her other three kids will want me to create them one after they see hers; which I look forward to doing.  The grandkids always love and appreciate anything I create; even if it looks terrible to me.  LOL!
 
Door Hanger 
These colors are actually pastels; but I can't get the color to come out correctly on the photo.
