Thank You Card Using Cricut Anna Griffin Bridal & Soirees Cartridge with CTMH products

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  It is still hot and muggy in Southern CA.  I hope it is cooling off in remainder of the US.  I haven’t had much time to play lately.  I spent the last 3 days on the Internet and phone; trying to find a microwave that would fit on our counter top in place of the old one that quit working.  LOL!  

I am celebrating my 600 Followers and 3 years with Close To My Heart; and would love for all of you to participate in my Blog Celebration.  Click here for the blog post.  Join my followers on Google Friend Connect, add your link and leave a comment.  No blog, no problem.  Leave me a comment letting me know you don't have a blog.  I will add you to my list.  I am giving away at least 25 wonderful prizes; maybe more; depending on entries. Anyone who wins outside US will qualify for digi stamps from my wonderful sponsors; as I am not allowed to send CTMH products outside the US.

I found time to create this really quick card for my mother’s caretaker.  She loves my cards; so I decided to create her a Thank you card.  I don’t know what my family would do if there wasn’t someone willing to take care of my mother.  It is a blessing to have someone who can do those things for my mother; and to check on her 5 days a week.  I asked her to come and stay with us; but she isn't able to fly on a plane right now; and she really wanted to live at home.  

I traded products with a friend of mine; so I was able to get the Cricut Anna Griffin Bridal and Soirees Cartridge free.  It is fun when you trade with friends; rather than having to buy everything.  She had two; so I took one off of her hands.  LOL!  I love butterflies; and thought this was a very pretty card.  I had a challenge finding a place for the sentiments; so they wouldn't show through to the front.  LOL!   I could have added a back to the front of the card; but I liked it open; as it was meant to be.

I didn't want the sentiments to show through the butterflies; so I had to turn the sentiments at an angle.  LOL!
