Happy Birthday Card Using Cricut Artistry Cartridge

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 several cards using the Cricut Artistry Cartridge; which was just released August 1st by CTMH.  I love this cartridge.  I wanted to show the versatility of the cartridge; so I created very different cards so you could see a wide variety of what you could create with it.  I have been creating cards, not scrapbooking or crafting; but this cartridge is for those and more.  It has 700 images.  You can find out more about it on the tab at the top.  I would love for you to watch my new videos on my YouTube channel.

    Great card! I love the colors! I am sorry that this week the linky doesn't work at Sister Act Card Challenge, but the information you left at the comments doesn't bring directly to this blog post. It says that the page you are looking for doesn't exist. In order to qualify for the prize you should fix that. xx

    Hi! It is me again :). I found another comment in our blog that has a direct link to this post so I am not sure if you fixed the link already or you entered two cards to our challenge. In any case, thank you for joining us at Sister Act Card Challenge. Hugs.

    Love all the die-cuts. well done! 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!
