All Occasion Card Using Imagine That Beach Blanket Girl

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 heard it has been cooling off for some of the US.  I hope everyone had a fabulous summer and are now ready for the cool down.  It is still fairly hot here in LA area.  We are supposed to have upper 90's and higher next week.  We had a week of over 105; which was really tough. We still need rain for the severe drought situation.

 It is time for another Progressive Challenge at Imagine That Digis Stamps by Kris.  I love Kris's digis.  I especially love the ones she has already colored for us and the fabulous background on this one.  I am running behind; as this challenge ends August 28th.  There is still time for you to get yours ordered (if you don't have it) and your card finished.  You will receive the next months set of images free when you enter this months Progressive Challenge using this months digi set.  I hope you enjoy my card.

    Gorgeous card Gloria!! I really love that pop of blue in the background, and super cute with the chevron, gems and ribbon too :) Thank you so much for playing in our challenge at Imagine That! digis by kris. It has cooled down here in Oregon just a bit--nice breeze in the evenings, but we're still pretty smoked out from the big fire nearby. Have a nice weekendxx
