Swing Cards Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy plus August Winner of FREE $25 of CTMH Products

Hi Fellow Crafters!  I was on vacation and have been having a challenge trying to get caught up.  I just finished unpacking last night.  LOL.  I suffer from jet lag and migraines from traveling with all the smells; so I haven't felt up to normal yet.  It usually takes me a few weeks to get back to normal.
 
I have a drawing each month for $25 FREE in CTMH products for everyone who orders $50 or more.  Congratulation to Mercedes H.  - the winner for my August drawing.  I don't always remember to post them here.  I have been notifying the winner.  I love giving free products to my loyal customers.   I am also having several drawings for my followers on my blog.  I am trying to reach 500 followers; so I have several free prizes to give away coming soon.  Please take time to link to the linky if you have a blog.  If you don't have a blog; just leave me a comment on the followers post by clicking here.  If you are already a follower; I appreciate you following my blog.  If not; I would love to have you as a follower.  Please leave me your link for your post as well; so I can follow you too.  I would love more "likes" on my Facebook page as well.
 
I have two clubs that you can join to also earn free CTMH products.  I would love for you to check them out.  Click the tabs at the top of the page for "Kit of the Month Club" and "Rewards Club". 
 
I created these cards before going on vacation and created a video on YouTube; so I wanted to share them here as well.  These cards are using the new "You Are My Happy" September National Stamping month trio stamps that you can pay only $10 for with any $50 purchase.  What a deal.  Retail value is $47.90.  See pictures below of all three stamps.  This special ends Sept. 30th; so don't wait; place your order today.  All the images and sentiments are from this set of trio stamps; except the outside sentiment for the first card and it is cut with Cricut Artbooking Cartridge, pg. 47.
 
These are both Swing cards; which you can create easily with the Cricut Artiste; page 52.  I love these cards and they work great with the double sided CTMH paper packets.  This first one is "For Always" paper pack; which I am so in love with this one.  I have bought several packs and use it for everything. 
 
Card 1 - CTMH For Always Paper Pack
