Thinking Of You Card Using Cricut Artistry Cartridge and CTMH Georgie Paper

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.  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 barely finished this card in time for the Facebook Group - Sweet Pea Anything Goes Part 1 of the monthly Progressive Challenges.  My family was here for a couple weeks; and then I got sick again. I have only been able to create a couple cards lately.  I have wanted to use this little Sweet Pea Conie Fong's "Snowy The Penguin - Dancing in the Snow" from the first time I saw it.  I know it is supposed to be snowing and probably winter colors; but I want to see bright fun colors in my world!  LOL!  I hope you enjoy it.  

The colors are much more vibrant than this picture shows.  I had good lighting; so it must be the color causing it.  


Supplies used to create this card:

Dies
Frames - Joy Crafts Embossing Die Oval Fr Lily
Sentiment die outside - Cricut Artistry Cartridge

Paper - CTMH Georgie X7203B (My 2nd favorite in new Idea Book)
Cardstock - CTMH White Daisy, Canary
Sentiment outside - CTMH August Stamp of the Month (SOTM)
Sentiment inside - CTMH Sweeter With You (M1053)
Buttons - La Petite
Ink - CTMH Heavenly Blue and Juniper
