A few days ago when I started wrapping presents, I got out my little tiny gift bags I had in the closet and put a couple of gifts in them.  Well I ran out of those... so I decided to make a couple myself with my Art Philosophy Cartridge.  Well that turned into making a whole bunch and tossing those store bought ones! Art Philosophy is the most amazing Cricut Cartridge!  It has several bags and boxes to choose from and they're all great for gift wrapping!  Here's a large pillow box I made.  It's big enough to hold a set of cards, but I put a gift card and a coupon inside.  Paper:  Believe , Stamps: Holiday Wishes, Art Philosophy Tags Chinese Take-out box.  Perfect size for wrapping up an ornament for my work exchange.  Paper:  Roxie.  Stamps:  Art Philosophy Seasons , December 25th. Wonderland Take-out box:  Wrap a pretty ribbon around it and voila!  This one holds Jewel Kade Jewelry .  Paper:...

For the last 4 years, I have created 12x12 scrapbooked calendars for my parents, my in-laws and for myself.  The first two years, I did traditional scrapbooked pages on the calendars.  Last year I started using Studio J for my calendar pages.  The Studio J calendars were a HUGE HIT!!!!!  Both mom's commented on how beautiful the pages were and how much lighter and thinner the calendar was!  Not to mention, they could be fully embellished without the bulk! You can see last year's calendar feature HERE So of course, here are this year's pages: January: Magic Moments February: Sweetheart   March:  Lucky April:  Sophia May: Let's Get Together June:  It's a Guy Thing July:  Fanfare August: Boo! September:  Sweetheart October: Hooligans November:  Roxie December:  Believe  Get started with Studio J today for FREE!!!!!

DIY Home decor projects are all the rage!  If you look on Pinterest, if you surf blogs, you'll find plenty of these!  CTMH has created some really cool projects that I'd like to share with you too! Ah, home sweet home, where we get to decorate to our heart’s delight! Add these beautiful DIY dècor pieces to your home to live inspired every day. We’ve chosen a sleek color scheme of Grey Flannel, Black, and White Daisy, with a pop of Pear, and we used the graphic flowers from the My Acrylix ® Dreamin’ Workshop set to add subtle texture to the White Daisy paper in the desk calendar and art canvas. Here are a few hints for you as you create these chic projects. Desk Calendar Create the triangular base of this calendar by folding a 12" × 12" piece of chipboard at the 3" and 7 1/2" marks. Insert three pins from the Bling assortment (Z1466) and clip the sharp ends if they protrude too much. (Tip: You can use hot glue on the back to anchor the pins.)...
