My CTMH anniversary!

Today is my 4th anniversary with Close To My Heart! It has really flown by. I can't believe it. I got into it so that I could make cards "at a discount" and look at what it has turned into?! :D

Here's to more conventions, catalogs and to my CTMH sisters- THANK YOU!

Finally


The camera and the camera cord have been located. Finally.
Here's my sea glass marble-

Isn't it cool? It frosted perfectly and it is such a cool shade of green. I couldn't believe it when I found it.

I will post some cards tomorrow. I have been playing along with a ton of challenges and have lots to share. :)
