Birthday Card Using CTMH Kaleidoscope and Zuri Artsy Crafting Vivian/Letter

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends DT - Challenge 19 - Anything Goes

 Hello friends.   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, leave a comment on my blog celebration post and link your blog with Mr. Linky.  No blog, no problem.  Leave me a comment stating that you don't have a blog. I will add you to my list manually.  

I am giving away at least 25 wonderful prizes; maybe more; depending on number of 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 am doing a separate drawing for a $25 shopping spree of qualified CTMH products; for everyone who orders more than $50 from my CTMH website during my blog celebration.  

Thank you to everyone who has joined my blog celebration and/or purchased at least $50 to get into my grand prize drawing.  I appreciate all of you very much!

It is time for another fabulous challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Challenge 19 - Anything Goes.  I have created a birthday card using Zuri Artsy Craftsy Vivian (Letter). I think she is so pretty?  I had to use my new CTMH Kaleidoscope paper pack.  It is my favorite and I am already on my second pack.  LOL!  I love all of these gorgeous colors together.  

 We have 3 Fabulous Sponsors.  Zuri Artsy Craftsy, Concetta Kilmer & Emerald Faeries.  Click on their names to visit their shops.
