Let it Snow...Let it snow

Not that I wish it would snow, but who doesn't love a cute snowman? Recently my friends and I had a Christmas Card exchange, my friend made an adorable snowman card, which made me decide to go home and explore the Snow Friends Cartridge, I just had to make some cute snowman project.  Using the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge I cut out a 5.5 inch box and a snowman from the Snow Friends Cartridge ...added some stickles and bling and you have yourself a one of a kind gift box!

Simple Elegance

Recently I became a consultant for Close to My Heart (CTMH), which meant that I needed to start using the CTMH products instead of other brands and since I am a Cricut addict, the first big purchase had to be their Cricut Cartridge.  I have to say, when I first saw the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge I did not think that I wanted to purchase it, but after a scrapbooking weekend I was able to see all the content, and let me tell you...it is now one of my favorites. I scanned thru the book and found so many things that I wanted to create, so I sat down in my scrapbook room, grabbed some of the new stamps from CTMH and starting cutting away. What I came up with were both of these Christmas Holly Boxes. I think they are simple...yet elegant. Great as a gift box for that co-worker.

Here comes Santa !!

When I woke up Sunday Morning and seen that it was cold and rainy my first thought was to sit in my jammies, turn on some heartwarming Christmas movies and create some fun stuff for Christmas. As we all know, it's just not Christmas without Santa. Using my Martha Stewart scoreboard, I made this cute little gift box, Grabbed my Simply Charmed Cartridge and cut out a cute little Santa and of course, a chimney to limb in. Now for the finishing touches....to make Santa "pop" I added pearl stickles to Santa's hat and beard and some diamond stickles to the snow so that it glistens.

Here's a Holly Jolly Elf to get you in the Christmas Spirit

Hi .... I Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and survived the Black Friday Shopping. I was hoping that I would find a new Cricut Cartridge that was a "Black Friday" Premier, unfortunately there were none. Luckily I was able to get the Jolly Holidays Cartridge last Black Friday so I decided to grab it and start exploring...I found quit a few cute little elves. While we were watching Hallmark Christmas movies on a dreary Sunday my son asked if he could make something, which of course I told him YES. So we sat down and made this cure little card. I foresee many more Christmas Elves around my house. I love this cartridge.
