Dream Big Card Using Cricut Artistry Cartridge


Hello Friends.  I am celebrating my 600 Followers and 3 years with Close To My Heart; and would love to have all of you 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.

My oldest son, Aaron, Chrissie (wife), Trey 17 yrs, Kiley 15 yrs, just left this morning; so I am feeling sad.   They were here twice in the last couple weeks; and stayed several days each time. They are traveling across the US to raise support from churches and individuals; so they can go to Argentina in Dec. next year as Missionaries.  It is a tough job.  I am very proud of them; but I think only other Missionaries understand what they are giving up to become Missionaries.  Many times they don't know where they are staying from one night to the next; or what they will be eating. Gas for their SUV is very expensive. I would appreciate prayers for them on an ongoing basis; for anyone who can take the time to pray.  Thanks in advance.

I created a second card using dies only from the new Cricut Artistry Cartridge/Collection. Click here for the Digital version of Cricut Artistry Cartridge/Collection.  I had fun figuring out what dies and sentiments to use; which are all on this fabulous new cartridge.  I love dream catchers; so I had to try this one.   I hope you enjoy it.  Click here for my videos for this new Cricut Artistry Cartridge.
