This month I subscribed to the Club Scrap Digital Kit, (Look at how gorgeous it is). 

 I also subscribed to the Art Nouveau Stamp, the Club Stamp Kit, Unmounted Borders and Backgrounds Stamp, Greeting Stamp and the Embellishment Pack.

Since the digital kit comes at the first of the month I had fun making this layout.  When I saw the "not my monkeys" quote I knew that my great nieces and nephew pictures would make a great page with this quote.  I used Panstoria Artisan 4  Software and a Blueprint from Pixels2Pages to make this page.

When my Club Stamp Kit I wanted to make a card that was in the shape of a Circus Tent.  I recently bought a Cricut Explore and I found a circus tent bi-fold card.  Unfortunately, there is still a learning curve for me with my Cricut Explore.  I did not have the scoring stylus and did not realize that without the scoring tool the Cricut would cut the score lines instead of leaving them alone.  So I had to paper piece the inside of the card to get it to fold up instead of  having three separate pieces.  I now have the scoring stylus on order.

Mission accomplished and here is my card.

The card closed up with stamped designs on the front. 

First fold opened with the stamped sentiments.

Card totally open with plenty of room for a thank you note inside. 

Next up on the blog hop is Hetty Sanders our talented friend from the Netherlands.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the blog hop go HERE to the Club Scrap Blog.

Happy Crafting!
