Birthday Card Using Art by Miran Whimsy Stamp Calantha With Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello friends.  How are you doing?  It is back to being sunny and hot in Southern CA.  We didn't really get much of the cooler weather this year.  We hit February and March with hot temperatures already.  I love the 50's and 60's.  What is your favorite time of the year?  I would have to say that Spring is my favorite; with everything blooming and nature coming alive with so many awesome colors.

It's time again for another Art by Miran Anything Goes Challenge 54.  I decided to use this fabulous Art by Miran Whimsy Stamp Calantha image.  I love Whimsy stamps and how clear and precise they are when stamping with them.  I have been buying most of Art by Miran's Whimsy and digi stamps for quite a while now.  I can't imagine not owning as many of them as I can.  I also own over 100 Whimsy stamps; as they are a fabulous value for your money.

I decided to create an Easel card.  It is kind of hard to see; but I have included close up views for you.  Isn't she a lovely fairy?  Just so sweet and I love the fabulous flowers surrounding her.  


I am entering this challenge in Path of Positivity Challenge - Beauty.  I believe that all of us are one of a kind; and that we need to cherish our uniqueness as well as cherish each other.  I am not sure who this card belongs to yet; but I am sure it will be for the right person. For someone who needs to hear that they are beautiful; and one of a kind.  Everyone needs to be themselves and not try to be like someone else.  It is hard sometimes, to let go of what others think of you or expect of you.  We have to accept ourselves first; before anyone else will accept us; exactly as we are.

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.
