November SOTM Blog Hop: Cherish the Day

Happy November! It's time for another fabulous Stamp of the Month blog hop, so grab some of that left over Halloween candy and get ready to be inspired by over 50 talented Close to My Heart Consultants!

If you've arrived here from Paige's blog, you're on the right track. If this is your first stop, WELCOME...simply follow the links at the bottom of each post to get to the next blog in the hop! If you get lost along the way, or find links not working, you can find the entire list of hoppers at Helen's blog.

This month's set, Cherish the Day is truly a set for all seasons! Filled with great little tickets representing each month of the year, Cherish the Day can be used for marking the date on your scrapbook pages, birthday cards, and just about any holiday card you can think of! I LOVE that the tickets coordinate perfectly with the ticket image found on the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge available exclusively through Close to My Heart!

The new My Reflections Dreamin' kit is simply perfect for all of your fall crafting projects and was just the "ticket" I needed for this Thanksgiving card!


Time to hop along...head on over to Tamytha's blog to see what she has created to share!

Don't forget, the November Stamp of the Month is only available through November, so be sure to visit by CTMH website and order your set today. It is yours for $17.95 or just $5 with a $50 order!

Halloween & Studio J

These two layouts, from last Halloween, were completed in a snap using the Studio J exclusive kit, Boo!


Wishing you all a wonderfully fun and spooky Halloween...don't forget those cameras tonight!

Creating with Art Philosophy!

Yes, it's true...I've gone Cricut crazy! I just LOVE the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge available only from CTMH. Earlier this week, I offered a class that focused on just a few of the fun things you can do with the Art Philosophy cartridge. Can I tell you...it was so hard to figure out just WHAT to share in three projects. There are so many, many wonderful things you can do with this amazing cartridge I'm afraid my class didn't even begin to show the fabulous-ness found in the Art Philosophy cartridge and its 700 images!

Here are the three projects we created...

Flowers, flowers, flowers! All of the fun dimensional, rolled flowers have never been easier than with Art Philosophy! There are 6 beautiful flowers on the cartridge - the flowers featured here are found on page 70 of the Art Philosophy booklet. This card made its way to school this morning for my daughter's 2nd grade teacher's birthday! I hope she likes it!

This great little gift box was inspired by Jeanette Lynton's Shape-a-Day posts on her blog. All month long she has been sharing a different Art Philosophy shape each day - lots of amazing inspiration there. Check it out HERE! Just add some little treats and you have a great gift for any loved one! The box shape is found on page 22 of the Art Philosophy booklet.

Finally, this sweet little card actually uses two different card cuts. The Kraft piece is the front of the cupcake card. The cupcake and the cupcake card are found on page 70 of the Art Philosophy booklet. The fancy card shape is on page 43.

There are so many wonderful things you can do with the Art Philosophy cartridge and bundle! I have more projects to share, to check back often or use the form on the left to subscribe and receive blog posts right in your inbox!

Happy Crafting!
