Love Is All You Need Using CTMH For Always Paper Pack

Hello friends!  Happy 4th of July for USA.  I am busy in my craft room again today.  I seem to have a lot of creativity right now; so I am taking advantage of it while it is here.  LOL!  It is super hot here in Southern CA again.  Best to stay inside. We have also had an Air Quality warning for a few days now.  I don't go out unless I have to.  I hope you are having a great day, whatever you are doing.

I created this card by casing Kristine Porter's card (CTMH consultant) using CTMH For Always (Bring Back My Pack Special) CC6263; which ends July 31 or while supplies last.  There are several really good specials for bundles; and you can get the paper with or without the sticker sheet.  

I have created 3 cards with this pack of paper so far; and this is my 3rd, even though I am posting it first.  LOL!  I changed up some of it; but most of the idea came from Kristine's post from a few years ago; when this pack first came out.  I am also using some retired products as well.

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.

Thinking of You card Using CTMH Cherish - Cardmaking Stamp with CTMH Mix In July - August Paper Pack

Hello friends!  I hope you are having a nice day.  I know the USA is celebrating July 4th holiday/Intendance Day.  I have been hearing fireworks for over a week already.  LOL!  It has been extremely hot here in Southern CA for a few days now.  It was over 100 degrees several days in a row.  I think I read that it is hot all over the US right now.  Please stay cool and drink a lot of liquids.

I have been creating cards and have 9 new ones in the past week.  I don't think I have been this creative in years.  LOL!  I am taking advantage of my creativity and having so much fun.  I have started a system with CTMH Stamp organizers for some of my stamps that will hopefully allow me to remember to use new ones.  I have been finding all kinds of gorgeous stamps and papers that I have not used at all.  

I used the CTMH Cherish - Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts Z8049 (Stamp set only is C1958); and the stamp set is still available.  I love this stamp and it would be easy to fussy cut if I didn't already have the thin cuts.  It is perfect for every type of card that you would need; except maybe some men may not want flowers on their cards.  LOL! I used the new CTMH Mix In Paper Pack July/August (X9050) for the paper and the strip across the middle is from CTMH Four Seasons - Summer Paper Pack - X8035 (retired).  I almost always purchase at least 2 packs of the Mix In Papers. They are fabulous!
