Now for some artwork!

I am absolutely a Cricut newbie!  I got a Cricut Explore Air in September, and I have been learning how to use it to make scrapbook layouts, cards, and more!  This new cartridge is just in time for Christmas and has a variety of really cute images in a whimsical style!
I created a fast and easy layout of some of my favourite Christmas things:





I just cut out the lights and title, added a bit of sparkle and it was ready to place on the page!
If I can do it - so can you!!!

With the great coordinating City Sidewalks paper pack, this layout was a snap!  I can't wait to try even more images with this awesome digital Cricut collection, available from your local Close to My Heart Consultant, or purchase it here.

Thanks for stopping by - now it is time to hop over to  MELINDA'S BLOG to see what beautiful work she has in store for you!  Remember, all of these products are now available in the Holiday Expressions Idea Book, from your local  Close to My Heart Consultant, or go HERE.

National Stamping Month Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the CTMH National Stamping Month Blog Hop!

This month, 24 consultants from Canada, the US, New Zealand and Australia have created some great artwork using the National Stamping Month special cardmaking kit!


If you have come from DARLYS' BLOG, you are in the right spot!  The hop is a great big circle, but if you get lost, please head over to MELINDA'S BLOG for the complete list of hoppers!


The Create Kindness card kit (CC1145) includes 24 pre-printed card bases with envelopes, 8 exclusive M-size stamp sets, a 2″ × 2″ My Acrylix® block, and an Archival Black mini pigment ink pad, all packed snugly in the My Acrylix® Mini Stamp Organizer - for just $60.95CAD!   I love the mini cards, but this kit is very versatile, and I wanted to highlight that!  Using the kit supplies, plus some cardstock and Adventure Complements, I created a scrapbook page:



I cut apart the mini cards and matted them, then cut my photos the same size and arranged them on a grid.   Next, I stamped one of my fave sentiments from the set for the middle/title. Finally, I added some simple embellishments from the Adventure Complements!  Easy Peasy!!

These are all available as or a kit, or you can get the stamps individually - but how would you choose - they are all awesome!!  If you want to purchase one or all, just click on my side link, or contact your local consultant! - Remember, this is a special available only til the end of September!

Now you can hop over to  JEN'S BLOG, to see what crafty goodness she has for you!
