And now, for my gift to Rachelle (and you) - a sneak preview of one of the new papers from Close to my Heart!  These papers will be available August 1st right here!


This card uses the Elemental papers, as well as the new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge - both available only from Close to my Heart beginning August 1st!  This cartidge has over 700 images and coordinates beautifully with many of Close to my Heart's stamps!  I layered my Elemental paper with the negative of my circles to create this retro card.

You can also earn extra entries by (1) becoming a follower of this blog (2) liking Curls & Grins Creations on Facebook (3) placing a link back to this blog on your blog or Facebook page. Leave one comment for each of these extra entries (including the web address where your link is placed if applicable). Come back here August 1st to see if you are the lucky winner! Prize must be claimed by August 5th.

I love the retro feel of this card. If the circles were green, they'd look like stuffed olives! LOL I have been following you for some time now.
