Congratulations Card - Art By Miran Heartstrings Digi - Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy 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, 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 am cutting it close again.  The deadline for the Art By Miran Facebook Progressive Challenge is tonight at midnight.  This adorable image is Art By Miran Heartstrings; and she was free for entering the previous month.  Purchase the first Art By Miran Reserved Listing (wait for new one), color and create a card using that image; enter into the Facebook Progressive Challenge; and you will receive the next month's image Free.  

I created this adorable image for my granddaughter; who just found out she is 2 months pregnant.  Her baby will be due in April 2016.  I thought this was perfect for a Mother To Be holding this row of heartstrings.  Isn't that how all of us feel about our children?  They own our hearts from the time they are conceived.   I hope you enjoy this card.
