Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge from Close to My Heart

What a week this has been and we are only half way through.  If you knew what I did all day yesterday at work we would all be rolling on the floor laughing--now that I am done and the project is with fed ex I can laugh!  On to what I promised.
First off I want to share a layout I made using the new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge exclusively from Close to My Heart and the new Typeset Workshop On The Go.
It is a two page layout that uses a bit of each paper and pattern from the collection.  The empty solid khaki squares are where 3x3 pictures will be placed.


Now for some close ups:

You all know I love me some cuttlebug embossing so on the solid colored paper I embossed with three different folders.  Because CTMH cardstock has a white core, I did not sad or further distress and I really like how the paper 'breaks down' once the embossing is done.
I can't get enough of a good pre-made title!  This one is from the new sticky back canvas embellishments that can be used in so many different ways.  I added a couple of stars for a bit of layering!
These are two cuts and stamps the work together in perfect harmony.  If you look closely you will see that I heat embossed the black star and pop dotted it on top of the label.  Both of these stamps are in the Workshop On The Go exclusive set.  You know I could not let an opportunity for heat embossing to pass me by! (LOL)
This is some of the corrugated cardboard with a wash of pearl paint.  I attached them with the new antique brads.
The paper 'stripes' are actually the border of the B&T pattern paper.  the zig zag is part of the sticky back canvas embellishments wrote of earlier.
Yes.......more sticky back canvas--this is just a tab but cute none the less.
The last close up is of some tickets--this is a stamp cut combo.  I love the stamp cut combos--why did someone not think of this sooner.  But you know when Close To My Heart does it, they do it right!

Happy Monday!  I am going to honest and tell you that I got caught up with all my new CTMH stuff (including the new cartridge) and projects for PBD that I forgot to make anything for today.  So I thought--it's still July--so why not do a Christmas revisit as we all start thinking about the upcoming holidays--and you know when they get here time flies and we all get behind--so here are some of my favs from last year!






So I have filmed some videos for this week and will be doing the final edits (not that I edit much) and will be sharing them with you on Tuesday!  Layout on Wednesday, card Thursday, Layout Friday, and let's not forget about the Pink By Design Anniversary this Friday/Saturday!
Make it a great one

Guess what I got......New CTMH Idea books and............

Hey everyone--Wednesday was a good mail day!! I got all my new Fall CTMH idea books!
I have been madly addressing envelopes and check off my list so these will go to the post office on Saturday!  (since I am on yet another business trip) 

I also go a great box of new goodies from my Mom for my birthday.  If you didn't know my mom is a SU rep and although I LOVE CTMH stamps and inks--I have to admit that SU has some great paper designs--and yall know I am a paper junkie!

8 paper packs, 5 spools of ribbon, 2 embossing folders, 2 stamp sets, and a thing of buttons and brads.--oh and a sizzlet embossing die!  Talk about a birthday haul!   You can see in the picture that I have already opened the paper to see all the different patterns.  the Halloween set is very cute as is the well worn (very basic greyish)

BTW  have you all checked out all the new releases from CHA.  I have already ordered a number of new papers (like I needed more) from stopandscrap.com--I order from them A LOT and have never had any issues--they not only show you the collections but they show you sheet by sheet plus all the available embellishments--most of it is preorder but worth it when you do not have a LSS in your city cause the big box stores simply do not carry the assortment.  I am in love with the new My Minds Eye Lost and Found additions--there is a yellow collection that I bought without thinking twice as well as the Lost and Found Christmas!!!  Simply Beautiful!!!!!
Make it a great on-

Create.Preserve.Remember........................

Hello everyone--wow what a weekend!  I am so excited about all the new CTMH stuff (not to mention the new exclusive cricut cartridge!) and have a bunch of new stuff coming to show you all what the excitement is all about.


Before I forget again!!!! I want to share with you about an amazing store in Springfield MO.  Scrapbook Generation is a wonder place--the assortment was killer, the store it self was a pleasure to shop and scrapbook royalty create and inspire there all the time.  Allison Davis (who is amazing) and Debbie Sanders have created on of the best store I have been in.  It ranks in my all time top 5!

Not only is the assortment going to blow your mind--they have also paired up to create some amazing kit clubs and a line of scrapbook and card sketch books!  Who doesn't need some help from time to time.  I have a number of them already and they just released a whole book for single page layouts (guess what is in my shopping cart now!)

The offer classes and mega crops that sell out every time.  These two ladies love paper crafting and love sharing their passion with others--which makes it so much more fun to shop. 

Head on over and take a look--your going to like it as much as I did!  Click here to go to Scrapbook Generation!
