All Occasion Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy and Cricut Artistry Cartridges

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, 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 created a card using Aurora Wings Numbat Fairy and Aurora Wings Etsy.  I received this image free for making a donation to the conservation of the study of numbats. The owner/artist of Aurora Wings, Mitzi Sato-Wiuff is having a fundraiser for these little numbats.  (I don't think they have wings.  LOL!)  They are adorable.  Click here for the link to read about her efforts and the coloring challenge she is having for everyone who donates.

    What a cute creation. I'm so happy you joined our Challenge last week and would like to invite you to join us again with our Challenge this week at Word Art Wednesday. Just want to share God's Word to you coming from 1 Peter 1:24-25 which says, "For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you."

    Have a blessed day!
