Love/Encouragement Card Using CTMH Love Stamp, Keep Your Chin Up and Cricut Artiste

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 on my blog celebration post.  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 will also have a separate drawing for everyone who purchases $50 or more.  You will get one entry into my blog celebration for each $50 order; for a chance to win $25 free CTMH shopping spree.  My drawings will be on November 1, 2015.  I am also having a separate drawing for everyone who Likes my Facebook page.

I hope everyone is feeling well and having time to create.  I created this card for my mother; whose body has been going through a lot of changes as she ages.   All the dies are from the Cricut Artiste.  The card is much prettier in person.  I found this gorgeous purple glitter tape at Joann's and had to use it.  LOL!  The tape was my inspiration to create this card and the fact that I needed something for my mother to encourage her.  

My mother was still in the nursing home when I sent her this card; and very discouraged about changes in her health/aging.  She is home now and doing pretty good; but lots of ups and downs with her health.  She is 82 yrs. old and lives alone; so it is tough for her.  I offered for her to move out here to CA with us; but her other kids would not want her that far away; since they all live in MO.  She has a lot of friends there, also.

Thank You Cards Using CTMH Stamps


Hi there all you fabulous crafters and readers!  I hope everyone is staying warm.  We even have cold weather here in Southern CA.  It has been getting down in the low 30's at night and 50's - 60's in the daytime.  I know that doesn't seem cold for most of you out there; but for us - it is cold!  LOL!  You have to remember when you move to a warmer climate; your body gets acclimated to in a year or two and then you feel cold when it gets in the 60's.

I created these Thank you cards over a month ago.  It was my first time experimenting with just using stamps and cardstock.  I thought they turned out pretty good; especially for a beginner.  I just created another 4 cards with just stamps and cardstock; which I think turned out even better.  I will post those sometime soon; I hope.
