Happy Birthday Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Autumn Trio" and CTMH Falling For You Paper

Hello friends.  It has been too hot to do anything here in Southern CA.  We have had temperatures over 110 every day; with no relief in sight at this time.  I am very worried about our Feral cats.  I don't know how they survive in this heat.  I would let them in our home; if they would come inside; but they are too fearful to do that.

I had so much fun coloring this sweet image.  I forget how much I love coloring animals; until I do it.  LOL!  This one turned out so pretty with all the different colors of fall.  If you follow me; then you know that I rarely use grays, golds, oranges, browns, etc.  Although, I have been using it more; since our CTMH new double sided cardstock has arrived.  I was drawn to this image this month; to match my new CTMH "Falling For You" paper.  

I am using Ching-Chou Kuik "Autumn Trio"; which is part of a set of 4 gorgeous digital stamps.  It is time for another fabulous challenge at Ching-Chou Kuik; with the topic of Fall/Fall Colors/Pumpkins for our September Challenge. I love fall; although we don't have much of a fall in Southern CA.  It is one of my favorite times of the year; as it cools down and the leaves start to change.  It is always gorgeous to see the leaves with their magnificent colors.

CTMH From The Heart Card Kit for National Stamping Month

Hello friends.  I can't believe it is already September.  Where has this year gone? It has been the hottest year I have ever seen; since moving to Southern CA in 1998.  We have been having daily temps above 112.  Talk about crazy.  You can drive over to another town about 30 min. away and it can be as much as 15 degrees cooler.  That doesn't help us here.  LOL!  

September is Stamping Month and CTMH has a gorgeous card making kit!  I have a previous post showing several cards I made.  Here is my latest card I made for one of my customers last night.  These are super easy to put together and so pretty when you finish.  Here is the link for the first 4 I created. https://purpleglocreations.blogspot.com/2017/08/thank-you-cards-using-ctmh-from-heart.html.  I added Canary cardstock to this one; so it is different than the first group.

This is a special slider; interactive card; so it is really unique.  Love it.  The edges are gold; so the CTMH Canary cardstock may not show as well.  I colored the inside of this one; where I just stamped the first 4.  There are several options; but the best priced option is the one with the stamp set and the cards combination - CC1229.

Encouragement Card Using CTMH Whimsy Paper Fundamentals and Conie Fong "Moonflower Lullaby"

Hello friends.  How are you doing?  It is over 100 degrees this past few days; and supposed to get to 104 and 105 in the next two days.  It is really hot.  I am ready for fall. 

I have had this image ready to color for several weeks now; and finally found time to get it done.  I am using Conie Fong "Moonflower Lullaby"; which is one of my favorites.  I love the hair on her lady images.  It is so much fun to color.
