I hope you all had a great weekend. I spent mine watching the Olympics. There is just something about the world coming together peacefully that makes me all warm and fuzzy. My favorite events are men's basketball, women's gymnastics, and men's swimming. What is yours?
Today's card is something that I made for Joy's birthday, so Joy avert your eyes ;-) It is made using the Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge and the Cricut Craft Room. Now, as most of you know, Artiste goes on sale Wednesday morning. You can purchase the cartridge bundle on my website for $99. The bundle will include the cartridge, 3 coordinating stamp sets, and 3 sheets of coordinating chipboard. All people who order from me in the month of August will be put in a drawing to win a NEW Cricut E2 machine with purple endcaps!
A few people have emailed me asking whether or not they should order from me or their consultant. It is a personal decision and one I cannot answer. However, like I said last August, if I am the one who inspired you to buy it, then buying it from me would be awesome! Purchasing Close To my Heart from me means you will always get great customer service. Not only that, if something goes wrong or you need assistance, you guys know where to find me. I have been doing this blog for three years and my other one for four. I'm not going anywhere ;-)
