Cherish This Moment Card For My Card Stash

I had a lot of fun, creating this card for the #223 Challenge over at Aud Sentiments.

The challenge is anything other than a Birthday Card.

The adorable I am a Pandacorn Digital Image is from The Paper Shelter.

I colored the image in with my Watercolor Pencils from Close to my Heart!

The card base is Lilac cardstock, one of our new colors, introduced last summer.

All of the patterned paper layers are from the I Heart Us Patterned Paper Packet from Close to my Heart!

Each layer that is distressed, is distressed with Thistle Exclusive Ink.

The sentiment "Cherish This Moment" is from the up coming Stamp of the Month set for April, called Love So Sweet.

The stamp set will be available for only $5 with any $50 purchase.

I entered my card into the following challenges:

My Favorite Color Is Green... Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

I don't exactly celebrate St. Patrick's Day at my house, even though my husband is Irish, but my favorite color is Green.

So for today's card I went with various shades of green, and colored this cute little girl with reddish blonde hair.

The digital image is Glittery and Sparkling from The Paper Shelter.

I used Watercolor Pencils from Close to my Heart to color her in.

The card base is Emerald Cardstock.

There are various layers of Lagoon and Sweet Leaf cardstock as well.

The Heart Patterned Paper is from the So Much Happy Collection from Close to my Heart.

The little banner under the layered image is also from the So Much Happy Collection.

The yellow striped paper is from the I Heart Us Collection also from Close to my Heart.

The sentiment is stamped in Lagoon Exclusive Ink, and is a retired stamp from Close to my Heart.

The edges of many of the layers are distressed with Sapphire Exclusive Ink.

To add a little sparkle, I added three Silver Glitter Gems.

Finally, the inside of the card is a layer of White cardstock distressed with Sapphire Exclusive Ink.

I entered my card into the following challenges:

The "You're the Best" sentiment is from the retired Petite Perks stamp set "Just For You".

For the card base, I used Black cardstock from Close to my Heart, and added a layer of Pewter cardstock.

For the layers of patterned paper, I used the mini hearts from the I Heart Us paper packet from Close to my Heart.

For the striped, honeycomb and floral patterned paper, I used the Feels Like Home paper packet.

All the layers of paper are distressed with Pewter Exclusive Ink from Close to my Heart.

For a little extra sparkle, I added Silver Glitter Gems by Close to my Heart.

Have You Checked Out My Cricut Design Space Profile Lately?

I create Cricut Design Space Scrapbooking layouts almost daily.

Some of them are for personal use, but many of them I share in my Cricut Community Profile.

If you haven't had an opportunity to check it out, I invite you to see what I have shared.

I try to share a variety of different types of layouts, but keep it mind you can use any of the designs and simply change a title, to make it fit for your needs.

Check out my Cricut Design Space Community Profile ~~Here~~!

Here is a sample of one of my layouts:

Some of the layouts feature our Close to my Heart Exclusive Cartridges, others use included images and cartridges that come with the Access subscription.

If I use non-included items, I usually keep them at a minimum.

Want to see me create something specific?

Just send me a message and I will see what I can do!
