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, link your blog with Mr. Linky 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 had a lot of Birthday wishes yesterday on Facebook; so I really appreciate all of you fabulous followers/friends/family who sent me birthday wishes. It was so sweet and made my day so much better.
I had so much fun creating this card yesterday. I wish someone would make a purple marker that wasn't so dark; but was actually purple and not lavender. Plus, it doesn't look very good in photos. I love Easel cards; so I decided to create an Easel card; so I wouldn't have to add anything to the front. It is actually a birthday card; but I liked these two verses. It is for my daughter; but her birthday isn't until Dec. Sssh! Don't let her know it is finished already. LOL!
The verses are hard to see in this picture:
Top one says "There's no one like you." and the bottom one "You are Simply Amazing"
