All artwork on the hop will feature Cherish the Day!  This is a set of 44 stamps!   If you have come here from Elizabeth's blog you are on the right path.

Hopping along is fun and simple to do - just click the link at the end of each blogger's post to move to the next one!  Be sure to leave some love (comments) along the way :)   Today I have three cards for you! This Halloween card is my favorite of the season!  I used Mischief Level 2 papers , along with Kraft cardstock.   I cut a tag and ticket shapes using Art Philosophy .  I used the August SOTM Wicked to create the black pattern on the tag.  Then this month's...

When I first saw these displayed at CTMH Convention, I fell in LOOOOVE!!!!!  Whoooo would not love these???  Take a look at what CTMH corporate office has created, and how they created it :)  Home décor just took on a whole new level of cuteness! These quick and easy owl-themed projects are a great way to bring a smile to the faces of all who see them. The Elemental Paper pack is just the right choice for these projects!  Canvas Wall Hanging Create this paper-pieced owl—isn’t he a cutie?—then attach it to a 12" x 12" canvas (available at your local craft store). Here are some tips: Cut the pieces freehand or print some clip art from the Internet for a pattern. We used the flower stamp from My Acrylix ® Fill in the Blank (D1465) as a template for the feet, and used the 1 1/4" circle punch (Z1311) to punch the eyes from Cocoa cardstock. We wanted to add Juniper to the artwork, so we added the Typeset Juniper damask B&T Duos ® paper to the Sorbet, Cr...

I am now finally finished with my Halloween decoration projects for this year.  I created a wreath using ribbon and rolled flowers cut from my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge . I wrapped the black and white ribbon around the foam wreath.  Then I added a ribbon hanger to the back.  I cut one flower at 5 1/2 " out of Sunset cardstock, and two at 4 1/2 " out of Gypsy cardstock.  I added some sweet leaf ribbon under the flowers to give the look of "leaves". Very fun and easy to create :)

I have people tell me all the time "I can't stamp".  Well I'm here to tell you, if my 3-year old can do it, ANYONE CAN!  My kids absolutely LOVE to come in my craft room with me to "cut" but really they always want to "stamp".  Today my daughter was using my princess stamps from CTMH and created a stamped collage.  I told her how to ink up her stamps and she went to work.  She kept saying "tap, tap, twist, twist, tap, tap".  TURN YOUR VOLUME UP This is her collage: And then my son created this card.   See..... ANYONE can do it :)  This video is brought to you by my future Close To My Heart downline, and my lovely daughter, Allison! 

Welcome to DAY TWO of the Fabulous Halloween Trick or Treat Blog Hop !!!!! You should have arrived from Denise's Blog   The hop begins on Kathryn's blog if you'd like to start at the top.  Make sure you check out my DAY ONE post, if you missed it:  CLICK HERE ! Today I'm proud to show you the adorable treat bags that I'm making for my kid's friends for Halloween :)  I used the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut everything on this treat bag.  I set it at 5 1/2" for the bag itself (So I could get 2 treat bags per 12x12 sheet).  I created the candy corn image by cutting the pennant shape in white, orange and yellow cardstock.  I then cut the colors to make a candy corn, and of course flipped the pennant to be a triangle!  The candy corn was stamped with "Trick or Treat" from the Close to my Heart stamp set Thriller (2010). Finally I cut a tag in white and used some OLD Sassy Strands to attach it to the handle.  VERY ...
