I took out my Close To My Heart Sparkle and Shime papers and the CTMH inks to match and got to work ...

Here Is a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card using the Ginderbread andArtiste cartridges.  I made a poinsettia and  3d bow and used CTMH red sparkle ribbon to help it pop..

Here is another 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card using Art Philosophy cartridge and CTMH Sparkle and Shine paper and  some assorted embellishments from my stash...

Here is a card made with the CTMH Artbooking cartridge as well as the ART  PHILOSOPHY cartridge.  I just love the deer cut!!  For this time of year, I am finding I like the Juniper, Ruby, and the Chocolate inks from CTMH...I am using them a lot.

Good morning all..Man have I been busy lately.  My Husband has had hospital stays, doctor appointments and physical therapy that has me hopping, nevermind the babysitting and regular every day chores.lol

But... I manged to get in a quick project.  I recently ordered the My Creations 6x6 canvas frame (Z1818) from Close To My Heart amd the Huntington paper pack (X7174B)  and made a small scrap layout to hang on the wall.  I LOVE the Hintington papers.  I love fall colors anyways.  I used a metal dragonfly I got from Michaels to embellish it and I made my own flower for it from a paper punch and some Lindy Stamp gang spray.  The Frame cut and the leaf border and the mostly hidden Colonial white paper honeycomb cut were all from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge (Z1905)

Other supplies I used was Modge podge to adhere the first white mat. the rest of the layers I used atg gun, fabritac or my zig pen.

I also made the stick pen from some beads I purchased at Walmart. I also used buttons from my stash and Glue Dots vellum adhesive sheets and CTMH crystal gems.
