Thank You Card Using Cricut Artistry Cartridge For Outlawz Challenge

Hello friends!   I hope everyone is doing well.  It has already started getting hot here in Southern CA.  I love the Spring weather; when it is 50's and 60's.  To me, that is the perfect temperature.

I wanted to share my GDT creation for The Outlawz Clean And Simple Challenge; One layer Card.  This was more of a challenge to me then my digi coloring. LOL!  It is easy to forget how to do something that is supposed to be simple; when you have gotten out of the habit of creating simple cards.  It took me 3 days and several cards that didn't work for me; before I finally figured out how to create a one layer, clean and simple card.  LOL!  I hope you enjoy it. I didn't realize how much I love layering cards.  I actually created two with different colored butterflies; to see which one I liked the best.

Birthday Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Blue Illusion" image

Hello friends!  How has life been treating you?  I have been super busy, trying to get caught up with all of my DT cards after vacation.  That is always a challenge; because I need a vacation after my vacation to recuperate; and I usually have to hit the floor running, when I get home.  How many of you feel the same way after taking a vacation?

It is time for another Inspiration Post at Ching-Chou Kuik.  We were given a topic to "Use Kraft card".  What a challenge for me!!!  I didn't think I liked Kraft paper and searched everywhere at home; and finally found some CTMH Kraft paper.  I seem to resist new experiences sometimes and it takes me a while to get into it. 

I found that I like Kraft paper after all.  I am grateful that I have a challenge once in a while that isn't the norm; that challenges me.  I always feel that I grow as a person; when I finally embrace it and make it my own.  LOL!

Don't forget our Ching-Chou Kuik June Monthly Blog Challenge.  The topic is Butterflies; which should be an easy one for all of you.  We can't wait to see what you create.  There are so many gorgeous images to choose from on Ching-Chou Kuik Etsy shop.  Check them out.

Birthday Card Using Aurora Wings Spring Sprite Without Bunny Ears

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is taking time to craft; despite your busy schedule.  I find I feel better when I craft on a regular basis; unless I am in a hurry.  I try to enjoy my crafting time; but sometimes I am on a deadline to create a card for my Design teams.  Lucky for me; this card was created for the joy of creating with an adorable Aurora Wings Spring Sprite (Without Bunny Ears).  It is so precious with and without Bunny ears; and I am thrilled to have it both ways.

Aurora Wings is having a fabulous Facebook celebration today and tomorrow; so take time to join the fun and a chance to win free prizes.  Mitzi creates fabulous images; of which I own most of them.  LOL!  She has several she created just for this celebration with two coupons as well.  Lots of contests too! The Showcase for her new creations can be found here.   To purchase them, visit her Etsy shop or her Aurora Wings Digi Shop.

I had so much fun coloring this sweet image.  I hope you enjoy her as much as I do.  I think the only one you can purchase right now is Aurora Wings Spring Sprite (without Bunny ears)
