Christmas Morning

Just trying to catch up with last year's holiday photos.  This is Snowhaven with the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge.

I love how easy pages go together when you have overlays like this.  We had so much fun watching the paper fly as the packages were opened.

Chalk it Up with Eva

 I was looking at pictures the other day and happened upon these four.  I'm so glad scrapbooking allows me to go back and scrap pictures that have been skipped.  This layout is the left side of a two pager.

The paper pack is Chalk It Up (X7184B).  This paper is so trendy.  It has a "chalk look" paper, arrows, triangles, stars and words.  The colors are Black, Champagne, Flaxen (new color) Lagoon, Sorbet and White Daisy.

I also used a new stamp set here.  Great Job (C1588) is a set of 8 shooting stars, the words "Great Job" and circles.  Can you see the heart embellishments?  They are from the Chalk It Up Assortment (Z3009) a sheet of puffy stickers that can be used anywhere!  My Cricut came in handy to cut out the numbers and title.  Check out the new catalog to see all of the stamp sets and other items with Chalk It Up!

Have a great week!

Special Folds

I did a little something different for these cards.  The one on the left  is folded in a "Z" fold.  Only half of the front is covered with the fold.  So when the card is shut, you can still see both the multicolored circle side and the pink side.  The "thanks" is only attached to the left side of the card.

The card on the right was inspired by a very talented artist and consultant Lisa Stenz.  This is my version.  When the card is open, the printed piece with the flowers is the only part that opens.  You can make that piece any size you want.  And of course the flowers are from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.

If you have any questions, please contact me.  We can also make cards like this at a workshop and you can earn free products...just ask me how!!

Thanks for looking!!

Gift Boxes

Did you know that with the Cricut Artiste, you can make these little boxes with just a push of the button?  If you have ever needed a quick little gift box, this is the tool to have on hand.  These little cuties were made by the guys at CTMH.  Don't you just love them?

Have a gathering and find out how you can get any of the Cricut cartridges 1/2 price.  Contact me today!

Love this video because it shows how you can use all three of the CTMH Cricut cartridges...so many possiblities!!!  Visit my website to order your own cartridges and to see all of the stamp sets that coordinate to make fast and easy projects...

Had a blast in TX!

Mom, Eva and I had a blast in Texas at the CTMH convention.  I couldn't believe we were actually able to go.  We learned a lot and Eva was so good...especially since we were gone so long!  If you are like me, I know you can't wait to get your hands on the new idea book so you can start to make your wish list.  Leave a comment or send me an email if you would like me to save a book for you!  As of August 1, you can also go to my website and browse through all of the new things online!  Click here if you want to start shopping from home.

Some other fun things we learned are all about Studio J.  For those of you who aren't familiar with Studio J, it is a free online way to design scrapbook pages.  There are now express collections to help you scrapbook even faster and I am very anxious to make a few pages with Eva's pictures so that I can keep up:)  The cost of ordering is now only $6.95 per two-page layout, but the best thing is that you can go online to create and play and it is all free!  Click here to go and see all of the new improvements for yourself!

There is also a new Cricut cartridge!!!  I am still learning all of the fun things from the Cricut Art Philosophy, but I can't wait to get my hands on the Cricut Artiste Cartridge.  It looked absolutely amazing and I have seen some really fun things made using it! It includes 700 images that incorporate many themes to help coordinate projects.  The cost of the cartridge is $99 and it comes with 3 coordinating stamp sets and 3 sets of coordinating Dimensional Elements.  The whole set can also be yours for 50% off if you have a qualifying party so make sure to book yours today!

I learned so many more fun things that I can't wait to share, so be sure to check back again to learn more.  Stay cool and happy crafting!!!
