Birthday Card Using Sangria Paper and 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, leave a comment on my blog celebration post and link your blog with Mr. Linky.  No blog, no problem.  Leave me a comment stating that you don't have a blog. I will add you to my list manually.  

I am giving away at least 25 wonderful prizes; maybe more; depending on number of 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 doing a separate drawing for a $25 shopping spree of qualified CTMH products; for everyone who orders more than $50 from my CTMH website during my blog celebration.  

Thank you to everyone who has joined my blog celebration and/or purchased at least $50 to get into my grand prize drawing.  I appreciate all of you very much!

I realized that I rarely create cards that don't have a colored image on them.  I decided to try something different.  I created this birthday card for a dear friend of mine; and I am very happy with how well it has turned out.  I used the fabulous new CTM Sangria and the new Cricut Artistry Cartridge for the inside portion.  I hope you enjoy this card.
